I have the 3 month old Silkie that is a real blabbermouth. I am new to silkies and wondering, does being a chatterbox coincide with the gender of the chicken at all? I could use some hints for figuring out the gender of this little critter. Thanks!

Hi y'all so I have a question about silkie genetics and breeding. I have 3 white silkie hens and a white silkie rooster. If I breed them I will get all white silkie chicks correct? But what if I get some other colored hens and breed them with my white roo. What colors would I get then? The hens color, the Roos color, mixed solid colors, or a paint type color? I'm just curious and wasn't really sure how that works

White to white I believe is only white, but white to any other color is a gamble. You don't know what color is hiding under your roo, and if he is recessive white or if he is dominant white. My suggestion if you want another color is get a breeding pair.

Sometimes, I thinnk it is supposed to mean male, but my pullets are always talking so I think it's not a good indication, but post a picture and we may be able to give you an educated guess. A side view and a face view would be best.

I crack the eggs open and look for a bulls eye on the yolk.
