What colors mutations do you have to breed to produce Silvers?

I can't seem to find info on them.

Thanks everyone!

Silver, (aka: Edge Dilute, aka: American White, aka: American White Graywing) is Autosomal Recessive...which means you have to have the gene in both parents to produce the offspring. Now one of the parents can be split to this mutation, or both the parents can be split....(which means if you know the breeding lines and know that the birds should have the gene, but can't see them, when you put them together they will throw the silvers).

If you have one silver bird and put it with a different mutation, then all the babies will be split to silver, but will not produce the silver.

I hope this is the answer your looking for.... :)
