What happened?

Silver in chickens is white. Though most of her white is due to the barring gene. However, all chickens are either gold or silver. Hens can only have one silver gene or one gold gene, while roosters can have two gold genes, two silver genes, or one gold and one silver gene. I’m guessing she’s silver because her chick looks silver, and it couldn’t have come from the pure gold father. It does look like she may have some silver leakage around her head, too, and she certainly doesn’t look gold. Also, silver is common in black barred chickens, because pure black barreds are usually silver.

Thank you for taking the time to explain it,I find this very interesting! It's good to know! Maybe I will incubate another one of her eggs,and see if there's a difference in gender. Now I am intrigued.
Again thank you for educating me
