What color would this be?

If I cross a White silkie roo with a black silkie hen? Or a Black silkie roo with a White silkie hen?

According to breedbook.com, you would end up with all black babies.

 

[mahsmaj]

by crossing a White silkie roo with a black silkie hen a Black silkie roo with a White silkie hen?

 

[Lucky Ducky]

Either way you still get all black.

 

[mahsmaj]

so they would be all black but carry a white gene... Thats AMAZING!!! Its just what I wanted!

Unless the white gene that yours carry is dominant. There is a white recessive and a white dominant.

 

[mahsmaj]

What if the white is dominant? Then what would I get by crossing a White silkie roo with a black silkie hen and Black silkie roo with a White silkie hen?

Actually it can be any colour depends on what's hidden under the white and if the black carries rec white.

With the way genetics works, it's a try it and see what happens type of a situation. Once you do, you'll know what you can expect!!
Seriously, genetics is too complicated for us to be able to say with 100% certainty that this is what you'll get in most situations.
