thanks for the updates my dear friend... I love them... can you take pics of the cockerel shanks? thanks.. the reason the hen has blue earlobes is due to the fibromelanotic expression on her skin... thats why

nice, love them...

thanks for the Updates Kristy, I love the way he turn out to be, he provided me with good genetic info, thank you so much

Awesome.. Thanks... to think they are only eb and they are nearly all black..... Thanks to Melanotic, what a powerful gene it is...

wow.. yeah almost all black... nice I love it

wow that´s my boy? he is Huge.. can you take pics of his shanks without the flash, thanks

as I thought the hen is looking almost black, even if her e allele is eb, nice, how about my boy?..

my boys(when grown up) run away from me(except when I´m about to fee them) the hens whe I approach them they think I´m about to mount them and do the mating stance... thats how it works when you are boss edit. keep us updated as they grow ok.. thanks Marvin

well he is a boy, if you pick him up that means you are his boss, boys like to be their own boss.. hens are submissive by nature..

wow... they do... look at my boy´s shank.. they are getting darker and darker as he age.. by the time he is a young rooster he will have all black/slate shanks... and look at her she is a beauty

its part of his genetic mystery....

nice

OMG... his quite the charmer... he is developing just as I thought.... just to give you a heads up, he will have slate/green shanks as he matures

Melanotic(Ml) and Pg(pattern gene) are the genes responsible for the lacing found on your laced wyandotte, they are melanizers, thats why your chicks look very black, they may end up almost black depending on what other genes where hidden on the white silkie side

Wow nice.. seems like Melanotic and Pg is melanizing her breast...

Nice.... he is growing up alright..

any update pics on this awesome boy?....

well it seems like you have not been lucky enough, you should always get 50% chance of getting frizzle chicks,

Only 50% of them(boys and girls) and 50% will lack Fibromelanotic altogether(if crossed to a none fibromelanotic bird)... its hard to tell these heterozygotes once you introduce a none fibromelanotic bird(to bring new cool colors, or feather type like frizzle) to your silkie breeding program...

Fibromelanotic: autosomal gene, this means there are two copies of this gene in a pure silkie rooster, your zizzle silkie rooster my look pure on all silkie aspects but he is lacking another copy of this gene, he is a Fibromelanotic heterozygote(Fm/fm+) therefore he cant be used as a sex linked...
