I appreciate it! The more you know...the more you know that there is more to know 😊 You opened my eyes. I never thought I'd be so interested in chicken genetics but.....research adventure here I come!!
Wow! I love how detailed and informative your response was! This was exactly what I was looking for! I'll definitely be combing through the links you sent as well! Thank you!
I wondered because silkies usually have black skin and blue ears if this was a desaturated version....or if it's a mix with something that has this color
My newest Silkie has:
•very light blue-ish pink-ish skin
•light beak
•light purple ears
•light gold eyes
•and a lavender color in her feathers (was told she was "mauve")..not white
•5 toes on one foot and 4 on the other (so assuming a mix)
Is she albino? What chickens have this color skin...
