Don't mess with Hinotori's silkies! :D

Maybe this one.. He's Gunner's brother but is blue on blue. (Not the photobomber)

Thank you! I had chosen two possible roosters to put her with. A nephew or another nephew. The front most rooster in the group, or Gunner. They both have 'outside' lines via the fathers.

I've finally gotten a Calico Splash female (red white and blue). The colors are so diluted and blend together. All and all she's still a charmer, and I have several people wanting to snatch her from me.

Another gorgeous bird, I salute you! Now for a question, What color male would you put with this pullet when she's ready. She's red, white and blue (so patriotic). I'm assuming the female version of a calico splash.

A) She isn't old enough yet. B) They are brother and sister, sooooo, I have to carefully choose mates for them.

I found that breeding Splash to Partridge gives you a shot at calico splash. Been working on that for over a year. There's a thread on that. The males have stronger coloring, while the females are pale.

Definitely got some chipmunks (partridge) kids, possibly a red pyle or two, and potential calico splash and a buff. Wait 3 weeks until body feathers begin to appear and ask again. :)

Oh is hatching time, I'm going to be brokeeeeee... I rescued several eggs from General Lee's pen after they fell from the nest where two of the ladies are sitting. He's got 4 ladies in all, and I don't know which hen this came from. One is his daughter, and two are f2's out of Lancelot and...

We are having too much fun down here in the south. I can confirm Hu made it to first base! HUShadow Captain (SC raised Hu from a wee tyke)Poof Poof with a few chicksShadow with a few more (first time mom and doing well)and Sherbert (she's been giving me red pyle babies with SC)

Absolutely Georgous boy! Molting is well under way down here in the south.

How about these colors? The two buffs are full siblings while the light blue is a half sibling.

I've got a duffus roo in with my older big girls. I don't think he knows which end is up since I've never gotten a fertilized egg from that pen.

Note the combs on those roosters. They vary quite a bit from the walnut comb. Here's an f3 of mine. BTW @Hinotori I have a sister of your hen, and her sister has the red crest instead of black. They are both f2/f3's.

Their hormones are kicking in.. It's breeding season.
