Silkie thread!

Kinda more of a yellow. I guess it's just a black partridge splash?

it probly mix color

Are mixed colors less valuable or desirable by most because I'm give a littile girl a pair and she dosnt care about color just wants a pet silkie. I have the black with yellow and a solide black. Which is a better breeder for my white rooster

You shouldn't really breed either of them to a white. You most likely won't end up with offspring that are "desirable" color wise. At least that's what I get from what i've heard.

What's desirable colors?

White x White
Blue/Black/Splash (BBS) x BBS
Buff x Buff

and thats about all I'm good for... Hopefully someone else will chime in on the silvers and partridge and cucuo (Sp???)

I'm sticking with Whites and have a trial pen of two blacks and a blue.

What's desirable colors?

White to white.

Any colour is desirable for pet silkies. If they are nice and fluffy, someone is going to want them. The majority of people don't even show.

Only colours that are usually mixed are blue black and splash.

What's desirable colors?

Is it yellow like this? She is partridge (or blue partridge - not really clear on that).
