hiya i have a blue silkie cockerel and he got together with my white ameracauna hen, cant wait to see the mix of chicks first time i will be hatching my own,  always bought in.

will the chicks that hatch inherit the blue egg gene or will they be silkie coloured eggs lol

[joyfull]

the araucana blue gene is normally dominant and my crosses that hatched last year produce blue but mine was with araucana cockerel and silkie cross hens so the other way to you.
I also have some silkie cross hens that are the result of the other way (bought in not hatched and raised by me) and they lay silkie coloured eggs so guess you may be unlucky.

thankyou joyful

[joyfull]

time will tell but you may have to wait until late this year or early next year to find out. They should have normal feathers though and not the furry silkie ones.

 just testing fertility on the other hens to see if hes caught one of the others to
