    I don't suppose you have pictures of what I am looking for when checking the armpits vents and mouths of the birds?

    Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Genetics baffle me and I wish I understood them better.

    albino chicken

    Is a non fibro the same as carrying dominant white gene. I am interested in breeding paints and own a few paint hens so curious as to whether locating the mother of these babies should be put in the paint pen or whether she is something all together different.

    albino chicken

    Interesting. you certainly seem to have your head wrapped around the genetics. Wish I understood them better. This chick was also hatched at the same time as the white one from the same nest in the black pen. Unfortunately it passed away but I would still like to know your opinion on the...

    albino chicken

    Just hatched this silkie from my black pen. Missing all pigment. No mistaking seeing as is supposed to have black skin and even that is missing. Have had this once before too. Last time someone who purchased silkie eggs from me thought perhaps it was cross red but nope just a sweet albino.

    Silkies Of A Different Color

    Hi all, was given this beautiful little guy recently and having had very little to do with silkies I have never see anything like him before. What colour is he? I can't tell whether he is blue or splash or something else all together

    Oh you sound like you know what you are talking about. I had a bit of a read of the genetics for colouring and it went right over my head! If you have rind the time and are so inclined I'd love a breeding genetics/colours for dummies version
