Silkies Of A Different Color

Pics
Has anyone bred blue to porcelain (self blue cream, whatever its being called)? I have to porcelain hens in with a blue rooster, he's my only rooster. He's got a blue and splash girl as well, I was just curious what the mixed colored chicks might look like... :)
 
This is Cocoa and I call her chocolate though that is probably not a correct term if there is one. Her body is a dark chocolate color and her beard and petticoat fluff is a lighter milk chocolate color. Does anyone know what color or colors would be best to breed her if I wanted to continue working on this. I really love it!
LOVE your silkie!!! How did you get that color?? I'd like a few if those!

Thank you! I would love to have a whole pen of that myself. I can't take credit for her color, I purchased her a bit ago. I have a few of her eggs (she is young about 8 months old) under a broody and I will see if she is going to pass on this color. The lady I bought her from said she came from a blue/splash pen (no blacks) and was considered a blue because her petticoat is lighter than her body color.

howfunkyisyourchicken, what color is the silkie in your avatar? I have a hen (I think) that looks similar.
The girl in my avatar is my precious Tina, she's a "porcelain" or self blue cream. I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to call her. Anyway, here's a better picture of her with her sister. Tina is the darker one and Lola is the lighter one

He looks like mine...Ive been told red Pyle as well......
I am by no means a Silkie person. But I tend to lurk and check out the new colors. I'd say these are salmon. Based on the red shoulders and the straw hackles. And also the body color of the one on the left.

If you find she hatches any chocolate colored chicks, I would LOVE to have one or two. Eggs or chicks. Keep me in mind please.
