Which would be better, and what would be cooler?

[lilwanderer]

Would it be better to put polish hens in with silkies, or a roo?
-
Or does it really depend on color?
If so what color out of wcb, tolbunt, buff laced and black crested blue with red leakage would go best with partridge silkies, white silkies, and a black silkie?
I have a tolbunt pair, a black crested blue with red leakage roo, a buff laced roo and a WCB hen.

For the polish roosters, if i do potentially move one to the silkie pen then it can only be one, so do please state which one you'd move if it were you.

What are you looking to accomplish?

What are you looking to accomplish?

Nothing in particular, just heard about the polkie cross and I figured I'd try it out. Just not sure which ones would be worth the move. I dont wanna make a terrible color by moving the wrong birds haha.
I like color variety, i dont care if it doesnt make a specific color, but what would it make and would it be pretty is what i wanna know.

Are the white silkies dominant or recessive?

i really have no clue, haven't bred them yet.

I would recommend using the buff laced or tolbunt with your partridge Silkies which will get you rough gold laced or rough buff laced (with black flecking) as well.
And breed the wcb or blue with red leakage with the blacks to get some more blacks or blues and blacks (with some leakage possibly.)
Split the whites between both roosters and just see what comes out, I guess. It is likely they are recessive white, in which case you won't know what you will get. If they are dominant white when crossed with blacks you will get paint.
