So my friend that has silkies says that silkies that are splits for mottled show mottling when young but it disappears when they grow out. I said no that's impossible for a recessive trait. Splits don't show it or else it would be incomplete dominant.
What's the deal with silkies and mottled...
Thank you. However Polish are very small birds. Not sure if bantam or not but I have spoken to this breeder. I have lost trust with her because my friend bought eggs from her. Her Ameraucanas had straight combs.... So basically Easter eggers.
Lol I have chocolate - Choc gene- sex linked Ameraucana chicks and Dun chocolate chicks. If you mix those you get Beige. I'm pretty interested in that too. I have several project pens.
I finally got my Dun. Unfortunately there was a mix up with platinum hens so there's blue in there also. Please correct me if Im wrong. This is my first time working with this gene.
This first one is like gray brown..Dun. right?
This one here khaki?
The yellow/white is Platinum...
Yeah neither has any available. Freshly picked chicks has blue mixed in hers too she told me. GypsyHen said after it cools down her hens will be laying again. I guess it's just a waiting game for weather.
Yeah I'm going to give it just a bit of time to see how it does first. I had a quail with curled toes and after 24 hours learning to walk it fixed itself.
