what colour will my silkie chicks be?

[ralphwaldo]

Hello there- this is probsbly a really basic question, but we are totally new to this. We have 10 eggs under a broodie. 5 are from a white silkie hen with a black silkie chap; the other five are from a black silkie hen with a white silkie boy; will all the chicks be black or white- or can I expect other colours too? I should find out on Monday for sure!!!

thanks and regards

RW

Black, Blue, or Splash.

You will not get any splash chicks. Splash chicks come from a Splash x Splash breeding or a Blue x black breeding. You could black and white chicks, but they may have other colors bleeding through.
