So I had some chicks hatch if you have seen my other posts. The others I know are my Phoenix roosters babies however these two chicks I have no idea! So it’s between my Black Breasted Red Phoenix or my Chocolate Mottled Satin Silkie. Any guesses??? Or if you know anything about genetics I’d love to know your thoughts!
Here is the mom. She is a Mauve Silkie. She’s currently broody so this is the best I have of her that’s more current.
First baby looks like her color. Does have some red baby fuzz on the back of head so curious if it stays when fathering out!
This baby is looking dark blue and from what I can tell there is no red anywhere like my other Phoenix/silkie mixes.
Possible dad Chocolate Satin Silkie
I have seen him breed so far no crowing but he’s been getting the ladies!
Second possible dad
He’s the dad of all the other chicks one came out with silkie looks but the color is all Phoenix!
Can my Phoenix produce blues if mom is Mauve? I know she has a blue gene and a chocolate gene but how is she getting mauve and blue from him or would it be my satin silkie and if that’s the case the small amount of leg feathering has me questioning.
