On crossing cuckoo male on buff Orp female I was surprised to find some of the offspring, both male & female had orange heads & down into the breast & back onto the shoulders. I have since seen other photos of similar results. I could only guess that non sex linked reddening genes along with...

You might know this one but I would think that if you took it a step further and bred the crele looking offspring back to buff you might get some buff barred but may have to breed the extra black or grey out of the tails. I dont know a whole lot about silkies but am just trying to apply some...

I apoligize but if you bred the other way around useing a barred roo, I think you would get crele. I can see what you're saying. What I know about silkies could be written on the back of a postage stamp. Unless I'm completely wrong about the genes in red & cuckoo silkies. The restricting...

Not a sex link. I think you would just get crele in color I agree with nzpouter Female cuckoo, red male = sex linked offspring. Unless I'm mistaken crele is cuckoo or barring on wild type birds.

There is an incompletely dominant gene Erminette which is said to express like this when heterozygous. The bird is said to black, as in extended black, in its absence & completely white when homozygous. For this reason it has since been suggested that Erminette could be an allele of dominant...

I think it's called ermine I've never seen ermine but it looks as it's described. I had wondered about exchequer pattern which is an extreme form of mottling. What did the breeder say was the genotype?
