I live in "Hokie" Land near Blacksburg. This is my first flock and my Silkies are the sweetest of them all! So much so I want to have a separate flock of just Silkies.

So I have a friend that asked me what would she get if she breed a white to a dark blue? I was not sure of the answer but did let her know that white should only be breed to white, except if you have a paint. So my question is what would most likely be the outcome.

White will throw whatever is in the background of that particular bird. So the answer is-- Who knows?! There would be no way of knowing. That pairing would not breed true for any color at all. If she is wanting more white-- she needs to get a white bird to pair it with. If she is wanting the BBS colors (blue, black, splash)-- then pair her blue with any bird from that color. But as a general guide... like colors go with like colors to stay in SOP colors.

Now I am certain that is not a blue. Very pretty bird.

So, would buff and dark partridge make SOP colors?
