I know it's common in brown red birds of just about any breed. Very hard to get one without it according to everything I've read on the genetics of them.

Lots of silkies have fibro or at least melanistic qualities...

yep, technically. Of course not all are. Just like they SHOULD have 5 toes and walnut combs. I see red faced single comb "silkies" all the time around here.

Our 2 silkies look awesome. Unfortunately the male is white and the female is black
