w know for a fact the father is a full blooded white we have shown him and  and got some ribbons but the show wasnt as fun i i thought it would be but  anyway will they look like a silkie body and all but just different colors

 

I'd say he's full silkie, but unless the breeder is highly regarded - no real way of telling what colour his white is covering.

but will they look just like silkies with just different colors

Quote: even if the breeder IS highly regarded, there is no way to know. With whites you cannot elective choose which of the hidden genes to breed for or against, so it is a hodge podge, regardless of the breeder.

Yes, they will be pure silkie; just not recognised varieties. Type will probably be somewhere between hers and his. FWIW, her type looks much better.

Winning a ribbon does not insure purity. And the male being white can be covering many things. Yes the chicks could be considered silkies but will most likely be mixed colors. I'm not sure the exact genetics of silkies.

whats his and hers what do u mean

 

[Sonoran Silkies]

The chicks' type will be somewhere in between the father's type and the mother's type (his and hers).
