When you look closer to my hypothesis you can see it all comes (as with every other inheritance) to selection to make the "pure" genetic combination to become the pure phenotype.
It's completely logical and calculable !

Yes it is. For someone that KNOWS genetics like you. For a dummy like me, It's a scary undertaking!

My silkie hen, Friend, was attacked by a dog yesterday. She died in the middle of the night. She was a splash silkie. Going to miss her - she was sweet and docile little girl.

really? thats good cause we had a turken that was meaner than HECK!!
Then we had a really good Roo (mixed breed) but after an attack from predators where they got 25 of our girls...and who knows what the
predator did to him and the other hens that survived..he is meaner than you can even imagine; he even is mean to his own flock..& he attacked our son (no damage) and
attacked our 21 yr old daughter; nice hole in her hand..big time..
he is meeting the stock pot tomorrow.. :-(
and hubby/I were really leary of another Roo..
My Roo's are actually really nice I can pick all of them up and pet them some even enjoy sitting on my lap I have one that follows me around the yard talking to me. I have 8 Silkie Roos and am sure there will be some in the 10 chicks I am raising now. I have several living together with Hens and some living without hens. Just keep handling him/her to keep it friendly. I was leary of having Roosters based on past experience but have been pleasantly surprised.
