Color question

I caught my 6 month old Buff Catdance boy having fun with my Porcelain pullet. What color would the chicks be? Any thoughts? I don't have them separated by color yet, they are all still only 6 months old.

I know Marge Best has Buffs in with her Porcelains. I have an First Gen Porcelain so she has a LOT of buff, except her crest, just the feather tips are buff.

You put it next to the food bowl or you can sprinkle it around the coop. I use sand in my coop so I don't have to worry about buying extra grit. Don't worry about how much, they will eat what they need. Just as long as there is enough for all of them you can't give them too much

just wondering if anyone around the Gray, Maine area has any nice silkie hatching eggs for sale? I have posted in the for sale area but just thought I'd post here too. I have a few very nice silkies but don't want to over breed them to each other. I am willing to drive about an hour one way to pick some up. I'm just not having any luck with shipped eggs. Thanks!!

I let Cleopatra go outside and forage a bit with Icelynn my pullet. Ice wasn't sure what to make of her haha! She would forage with her and be nice, then just stand there and stare at her and try to look at her face. I think she was trying to figure out what she was =P. She pecked at her a couple times, just lightly, and I would push her face away. The expression on her face was priceless though, it was like "WTH is this?!"
