I have a cuckoo silkie hen with light skin and a dominant white silkie roo with dark skin.
I know that cuckoo female x non-cuckoo male results in non-cuckoo females and cuckoo males. That would be fine if I bred my hen to a black rooster. But I only have a dominant white rooster. I'm wondering since silkie roo x hen with light skin results in chicks sexlinked by skin color - females have dark skin, males have light skin - would my silkie rooster x light skinned silkie hen result in the same thing?
Would those chicks be sexlinked both by feather color and skin color (females - dark skin, not cuckoo and males - light skin, cuckoo)?
