For those who PM'd me. I have just listed the only Salmon Silkie offspring that I will be selling this year on the auction thread.

He comes Very close to his fathers coloring, and I think he would be a good start to anyone wanting to get into this new color.

Here is his dad

Awesome boy! His dad is gorgeous! What hen would you breed him to in order to keep working on the salmon? I love the salmons but I don't know if I have any hens to breed him with right now to keep working on the color?​

As with other projects you could breed to black as well. I will be breeding McSilkie to his full siblings, Salmon girls & black hens this fall. Now that they are thru with the feather dropping! lol It's like EVERYONE decided to molt the same night, I think they all got together to see if they could make me have a heart attack. I can just imagine them in fluffy huddles giggling and plotting!
 
The thing to remember is the Salmon is really Silver Wheaten, so you can breed to the exact color patterns as a Faverolle breeder. So if you follow the tried & true methods of that breed, you can't go wrong, plus they have tons of practice working with those genes already worked out. Unlike other colors that need time to work out a plan for breeding, this color already is a working color.

Thank you! I have the salmon fav's so as I learn about their breeding, it will help me to learn about the salmon silkie breeding project. This could be a double bonus for me!
