what can you explain or show in close ups of the pink peach coloring..I just got my first chickens Sept 8, 2012 2 are polish-silkie sizzles one all black but not black skin nice feet and is a flat head..the other will be a white head maybe vaulted but barely..I would love to breed pastels..What are yours parent colors?

The parents are:

George

Harriet One of the rough feathered babies has black skin, a few smooth have black skin, but the rest have light skin, which could be bred out over time.

Here is a picture of one of the 8 week old boys. and for the lovers of McChicken...

I am going to breed her to her father - George.

Here is one of her 8 week old sisters. McChicken is 15 weeks old now. Anyone know what a partridge sizzle looks like?

So I have 4 sizzles that hatched about 9 weeks ago,and wouldn't it figure that they are ALL boys. Oh well, we are keeping them no matter what.. But can I breed them to my silkies, if they are girls,?? If so what will I end up with? Maybe I should just buy more eggs and hatch more?

How can you tell lol! I am still trying to make a guess on mine!! Mine is 3 1/2 months old and no clue. It sort of acts like a girl but has the posture of a boy Any guesses

They are like silkies for sexing. The combs are hard to differentiate, especially since your bird has such dark skin. I'd guess girl. If you'd take a picture of her comb, I'd be able to tell more

Oh and never judge a bird by posture. I had (gave her away to a friend) a girl that would stand very erect like a rooster, even at a week old. My boys usually don't stand erect until they are older either. I do notice boys will play fight a lot more frequently than the girls.

sizzle are frizzle cochin to silkie mix so if your cochins are frizzle you make sizzle but some time you well get smooth sizzles
