Little did I know my Silkie was as sneaky as he is... Now I've got a bunch of baby chicks with fluffy butts! LOL!
Here's our newest game - try to guess who the mom and who the dad is for our 8 baby chicks...
There are 3 all white ones, 2 that look like Red Stars with fluffy curly tail feathers, 2 that look like RIRs except one has fluffy curly tail feathers, and one white with black markings.
The possible moms are
Two Rhode Island Reds, Moop (or Henrietta, not pictured):
a Buff Orpington(?), Lucky
a Black Sexlink(?), Goldie:
a Black Australorp, Siris:
and a Red Star, Jinx:
The possible dads are
Top Dog (unidentified "production red"):
Whitey (unidentified white rooster):
or Suzuki, our sneaky Silkie Roo:
I'm guessing the RIRs and Red Star laid the eggs for the ones that look like them, and maybe Goldie was the mom of the black and white one. Anyone know what colors are dominant and what are recessive to come up with 3 all white ones? The Red Star and the White Rooster maybe?
Anyways - It's all in fun. Not gonna run out and get a DNA testing kit any time soon! Feel free to add your guesses!
