What colors from mixed Silkie trio?

[foxinachickenhouse]

Here they are. Gray roo with a blue partridge hen and a buff hen. The hens are sitting now and due to hatch the 19th. I am hoping some experts will weigh in on what colors may hatch out.

I was expecting grays and partridges from the first pairing...but I really have no clue. Am thinking the chicks from the buff hen may just be smutty buffs?

Any expertise is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

It is going to be so much fun to see what comes...One question though. What is protocol for naming colors to buyers in this situation? Should I call chipmunk chicks partridge and gray/black chicks gray? Or will they likely be just mottled mix types that I should just say are mixed colors? I hope this isn't too much of a dumb question. Total newbie to hatching. Thanks!

I can't help, but I wanted to say that I love your roo.

He looks like he'll make a proud Papa.

I would say assorted mixed colors.

thanks... assorted mixed colors seems a fair assessment...and fun. I am sure I'll be posting chick pics to get some help Id'ing colors when the time comes. The 19th is the day for the first set, the 30th for the second.
