Hello everyone! I'm starting to dream up some future breeds I want to create in the chicken world and one of which I need to produce a smooth feathered silkie. I'm wondering if a smooth feathered silkie is a genetic difference from the silkie feathering (if it just randomly pops out) or if...

Hello again, been awhile since I've posted anything here! I just got some new chicks and they were supposed to all be french white marans, but one came as a semi-gray and white color... I was wondering if it could be some genetic difference and is a splash that popped out of the egg instead...
