Splash Silkie Roo x Buff Silkie Hen.. what will we get?

[blondie34]

I have tried to read up on genetics but boy is that confusing! I'm just a hobby chicken owner and keep chickens for pets and broiler chickens so I'm not concerned about them looking pure bread or anything like that... I'm just curious what these little guys will look like when they hatch

The rooster is splash and the mom is either buff or splash .. I know splash x splash will most likely yield splash but what about splash x buff?

here are the two hens...


Roo and the two hens


thank you!

I wish I had silkies that cute and fuzzy. My two are still growing into it I think...hope. I don't have an answer to your question though. I just couldn't help commenting on those balls of fluff.

all of their offspring will be totally blue...but if you cross the blues together you will mostly get BBS chicks but you also have small chances of getting a rainbow of colors such as...blue salmon wheaten, blue wheaten, red columbian blue columbian...and more.

Haha I agree

I love silkies, they are the best!

I've got 9 week old white Silkies that are just starting to REALLY fluff out .. they are ADORABLE! I'm excited to hatch my own out in a few weeks and am super curious to see what color they may be

I just thought I'd follow up on this post.. one of the little guys hatched from this pair .. it's both splash and buff! What would I call this coloring? Or is it just a silkie mut mix? anyways it's pretty darn cute.. it has the biggest vaulted skull I've ever seen!







how cute is this little thing!?
