What coloring is this?

[Sonoran Silkies]

He is a good boy with me now - respects me. We only had one discussion.. and he watches me but doesn't try anything. He is good with the hens, and is in a pen with 4 other roosters... he is second-in-command.

I sure hope he will give me some pumpkin colored hens - its a beautiful color. However, it may be a male color.... The girls are 2 Porcelean d'Uccles, 1 Mille Fleur d'Uccle, 1 Partridge Wyandotte Bantam, 2 Phoenixes, 1 Light Brahma Bantam, 1 Blue Silkie and a Summatra.

The Blue Silkie has just hatched out three babies. One looks like her, one looks like a possible Summatra x Porcelean d'Uccle cross, and the last one is chipmunk - so maybe his.

Left is probably Porcelean d'Uccle x Summatra, Right looks like Blue Silkie - no clue yet as to who dad is.


This one is chipmunk - just hatched in the last hour - might be Light Brahma Bantam x Eagle

Sorry... that's his name... "Eagle"...

You would have been very confused if I had said I think the last chick was "Elvis x Eagle" - I thought the Light Brahma Bantam was a rooster for a very very long time - now I know its a hen but the name is sort of stuck.

No, I think I would have figured out Elvis X Eagle--two very different sorts of "varieties" obviously means somehting else. But one variety and another very much larger SPECIES

could mean quite a lot of different things. I actually suspected that you had a bird eitehr marked like an eagle, or with an eagle-ish head and beak.

Whoa, such a pretty rooster! I've never seen a color quite like that, but am thinking his genetic makeup might include some wheaten. I hope your chipmunk chick has his hue

 

[ChickNmamma]

Well I can hope

... but I just realized the chick might be out of the other Silver Phoenix hen.. and I have no clue who the father is..

Now that its dried off it looks VERY similar to the three the other Phoenix just hatched.
Too Darn Cute though!
