Quote: Gosh, that's a blue chicken! Are they like silkies with blackish skin? Is the meat also dark? I saw those black skinned chickens that have black meat on here somewhere. kCreepy! But that one with the white cap is kinda cute. Rudy, not so much! : )

Rudy and a lot of my chicks have fibro genes, so yes dark skin / flesh / bone however no silky.

I think the darker meat / skin is sweeter tasting, nothing really big very subtle.

That one w/ the "white cap" hatched from a green egg and has araucana heritage. He is feathering in really pretty, much different then his white chick fuzz w/ very faint chipmunk markings.

I have some new mutts

K., that first one looks airborne! how'd you do that? It looks like you have your own "show girls" coming along. Their feathers look very silky-like. Cute, cute, cute!

Looks like we got 2 mutts in the chicken coop.

Yes he is airborne, he jumped at the flash.

No showgirls, no silky's all normal feathered chicks, not even frizzles.

Quote: "fibro genes"? Meaning black skin types? So "white cap" may be a "rumpless" variety? If I could take pictures half as well as you I might put some of my mutts on here. I have some cute half and halfs. I have one solid black (so far) that is going to be tailless. : )

Yes fibromeletic (may have misspelled that ) is dark skin / flesh

White cap did have a rumpless Gpa but he didn't inherit it, I do not know if that gene can be carried and not shown though. I have one in an older group a chicks that inherited tufts even though mom had none (or dad) Gpa had small ones.
