Hi! I acquired a chocolate silkie roo, previous owner didn’t know if he’s a sexlink or dun.
I’ve got 6 of his chicks I’ve hatched so far and another batch of eggs incubating.
My hens these babies could have come from include 2 splash silkies (one has sizzle feathers), one white silkie, and one partridge showgirl.
So I’ve read a little about chocolate genetics but, I’m confused what the heck the differences are in some of the colors they can produce. I’ve seen mauve, fawn, khaki, platinum……
The small brown chick looks like solid chocolate to me, but I don’t think I should have gotten a chocolate from the hens I have unless my rooster is sexlink right?
The other dark chocolatey one has a lot of lighter colors mixed in and blonde in the top of his head.
One of the blonde colored chicks is frizzling so its mom was definitely the splash sizzle.. so that would mean it’s khaki / mauve or fawn?
Then I’m pretty sure the showgirl and the other dark chick look black right?
This doesn’t matter a whole lot, mostly just curious and i’m going to list some chicks on Craigs list soon and I wasn’t sure what colors to call them for that.
Thanks
Included pics of my roo if that helps.
