I found a chart online that shows what colors you get from breeding a paint silkie to a chocolate silkie however I am wondering if this chart is accurate if the hen is a black that came from a paint pen. If I cross my black silkie hen to my chocolate rooster will I get paints or inly black roos...
Hello everyone, I’ve looked up everywhere on here plus I tried google and the chicken calculator and I can’t find what I would get if I cross a mottled silkie with a paint silkie. Does anyone know?
I've got quite a bunch of incubating going on as I've been buying eggs plus hatching my own. I'm having issues keeping track of it all. I would do another hatch along but that does take a lot of work and sometimes I don't give it as much time as I feel I should.
Thus, a couple folks suggested...
Hello lovely chicken people. I’ve been raising chickens for 7 years, Silkies for 2 and now recently obsessed with and hatched Seramas. Anyway, I have this Splash (all black patches are ironically covered in the pics) Silkie that completely has me stumped on gender and I’d like your guesses. Pet...
So a purebred paint silkie has to be the offspring of two purebred paints, right? My paint rooster's parents were lavender and white, so is he not pure? As y'all can tell I'm terrible with chicken genetics. 😆
Thanks in advance!
Hello everyone! I haven’t been on here in awhile so excuse me if I missed something, but I just got 5 paints for breeding. I have 1 rooster and 4 hens at the moment. I do not know what their lineage is but I can ask the breeder if need be. What I need to know is what will happen when I breed my...
I just hatched 7 Silkie chicks that were listed as assorted colors. All of them are black or white except two. One is either a splash or a paint (not sure how to tell) and the other I have no idea. Does anyone know what color they'll be I'm? I'm pretty new to silkies so any additional...
I know its very early, but I was wondering if someone experienced with silkies can help. He is a paint silkie from alchemist farm, and just so cute and fluffy. However, while I hoped for a girl, seeing how tall he stands, how independent, and how big his feet and body is I think I can guess for...
Hello! I recently hatched a couple baby chicks from my two silkies.
My roo is a reddish-buff color with a little black leakage only in the tail. My hen is grey.
To my surprise, my baby chicks look to be paints! They are both light yellow with some dark patches.
What do you think? What color...
Sorry if I'm in the wrong section, but didn't quite know where this one belonged. I acquired two separate flocks of paint silkies after being on a long lasted silkie-hiatus. I ended up with numerous paint hens, as well as a "black split paint" rooster and a "white split paint" rooster. I paired...
I am having some trouble determining the sex of some of my 4 week old chicks. Can anyone help? I have a Dominique and Mille Fleur D’uccle (frizzled) that I’m unsure of. Seeing a lot of pink/red on the Dominique but it’s legs have a shadow grayish look to them so I’m unsure. My Mille’s cone is...
I just jumped on the Silkie train and I’ve been absolutely LOVING the Silkie life. I know the sexing of them is difficult, but they’re starting to show more of their nature and I thought it would be fun to see what everyone thinks the genders are? Check out the attachments!
I have:
1 large...
I aquired a few Silkie eggs on part trade for some hens, and they started hatching this morning. They came from a pen with a Paint rooster, 2 Paint hens, and a Partridge hen (if I remember right though she was smooth, making her a possible mutt). I’m working with Paints this year, so I planned...

I bought some day old paint silkie chicks, the seller said they would develop spots, but they don’t really have any at all right now, just a couple lights hints of grey, but you have to know to look to see it, and you have to look closely. Will they get spots later on? I’ve seen pictures of...
