Splash Silkies?

Quote:
It depends on whether the bird is dominant or recessive white. If it's dominant white, you'll get splash x whatever the white is covering up = 50% white, 50% splash x whatever that white's covering. If it's recessive white you'll get 100% blue, carrying one copy of the recessive white gene.

Thanks LilPeeps!

White silkies are almost always recessive white, although dominant white is a possibility. They can carry other genes that will affect and/or override the blue. For that matter they could carry blue or splash or the combination that makes buff or partridge.

Years ago my splash roo and white hen produced 3 chocolates. From later offspring, I believe this to be the chocolate from I^d, not from choc.

I stand by my statement that the results are unpredictable.
