What color will the chicks be?

[kbgriffiths]

I have a white silkie rooster and a partridge hen. Does anyone know what color the chicks will be?

If white is recessive (can't remember the Silkies white) then the chicks will all be black with lots of gold/brown markings on their neck and chest.

If the white is dominant, they'll all be mostly to purely white. Possibly some gold/brown leaking through.


ETA - Sorry,

Chicks will either be solid black, possibly with gold/red heads, or solid white, possibly with hints of yellowing
