Color question for you Genetics Gurus, please!
I have a "Sizzle" chick, his parents are a white Silkie mom, and a Mille Fleur Cochin dad.
He looks like he is going to be a very pretty Splash color, although is only 6 wks old, so I'm sure markings will change.
My question is: If I breed him back to one of my unrelated white silkies, what are my color possibilities? And is it possible that I can get some F2 Mille Fleur Sizzles out of it?
Thanks!!

Oh, and here's another probably kinda "out there" thought... Is there a way to get a Columbian Sizzle out of this???
Sorry, I've been reading up on colors til my eyes cross, and I am still pretty clueless...
