Silkie thread!

Your roo probably looks at them and says 'I'm not the father". Send them to Maury. He'll do a test and tell him, LEO, YOU ARE THE FATHER. lol

LOL bet he would too.

Oh BTW em I have 2 of yours. Whites. Got them from sbatz33 she and I have been doing some joint hatching . I set the eggs and then took them to her place for the hatcher...I had some of my eggs a week behind hers...I missed an egg and it hatched. Surprise. So I ran to her house and grabbed a second one to keep it company.

Lol too funny!!!!

I do agree that they look more like smutty buffs. Darkest one maybe.... I'm not seeing any penciling on the feathers. Male is really off-color for partridge. Did they have chipmunk striping as chicks? As for white popping up, both parents could be carrying recessive white in their background.

I have my first Cuckoo, he hatched from some mixed color silkie eggs. He is 5 weeks old, and I just love him, even his light colored eyes. I am pretty sure he is going to be a Roo, he has a comb already started. My silkie hens are partridge(blue&buff) and I wondered what the chicks would look like when I crossed them. Thank you for posting your pictures!

Any thoughts on what color my Roo is? Blue? Splash? He just turned 6 months.

Thank you. Those 2 are the best from the first cross, I have more but they are not showing as much color...I can hardly wait to see how the second generation turns out..it will take several generation before I get them where I want them...but what fun it will be along the way!!
