Silkie thread!

Sorry if this has been talked about- I couldn't find the answer. If I breed a red rooster to a buff hen, will I get some red chicks. I'm hoping when I go to a show in Dec, I'll have some Christmas money early, and can pic up about 3 chicks. If they all turn out to be boys, I have a buff hen.

Thanks!
ps- here is the color of buff that I have...

Much better names than my son gave them--Testicle Face, Mini Testicle Face, and Tumour Head for the bantam Cochin and Silkie cockerels.  Sadly, the names for the Cochins (the testicle faces) have stuck even with me.

That's hilarious.

That's hilarious.

He named the little Polish pullet that is my avatar Walter. Walter!!!! She should have been named Dahlia, Dahlia is a PERFECT name for her, but noooooo, she is Walter, even to me.

Here is Mini Testicle Face. Sadly, the name suits him.

Awwww. He's cute! We have a ton of chickens but not all are named. Have a three year old daughter so lots of Disney and cartoon names. Silkie roos are Shrek and Eggbert. And one sex link hen is Mr Magoo. And we have a smooth sizzle roo named Keanu Reeves because he's so fluffy he can't see and is kind of confused and aloof all the time. Lol. :/ Funny little creatures.

I was trying to picture why- I forgot about the wattles!

Got some hay in the pen finally!!! The game bantams, silkies, Cochin bantams, quail, & the goose are all hayed down. I've another bale coming in sometime this week to give to the laying hens and rooster.

Hope everyone's chickies stay warm tonight. I hope my silkies figure out how to use their dog dish heated water bowl. I put in in the coop and plugged it in and they avoided it like I put an alien in the coop until I put scratch around it. Silkies are not brave.

I have never met a brave chicken. Most of them are, well, CHICKEN!

I have a few now that are more curious and not quite as afraid of everything new - but that is only a very few of them.
