Here's the few Malay chicks I hatched, two look like their dad.

They're from Long's mother before she was killed.

I would say that those are eWh/e+

Just like their dad, Long. What percentage of the offspring will turn out pure Wheaten, or Duckwing?

Just like their dad, Long. What percentage of the offspring will turn out pure Wheaten, or Duckwing?

Depends on the dame. If she is pure for wheaten then 50% will be pure wheaten and 50% eWh/e+

She was solid yellowish white, like a Wheaten, but grew into a Splash Wheaten. Her hatchmates, which includes Goliath were the same color, he grew up Blue Wheaten.

Long's Mother

Long's Father, Goliath.

If I breed a silkie rooster with a regular hen, will I get silkied chicks, or not?

 

[MysteryChicken]

If I breed a silkie rooster with a regular hen, will I get silkied chicks, or not?

They'd be split for the Silkied gene, first generation chicks won't show Silkie feathering.
It's recessive, so it requires 2 copies.

If I breed a silkie rooster with a regular hen, will I get silkied chicks, or not?

Not unless the regular hen carries a copy of silkied feathers

Intresting patterning on chicks feathers.

Was solid black on down. Has a two dubble strips on the wings in silver or white.

Possible parents Ameraucana Blue or Lavender, Phoenix gold or silver for the roosters and the mothers Ameraucana Blue, Phoenix Gold or Silver, Orpington Lavender. Has a pea comb so one parent has to be Ameraucana. No sign of a split comb or tiny Crest so not from the Spitzhaubens.

Just looks like some patterning from the juvenile plumage. Certain those stripey feathers will molt out.
