Fibro or no?

[Ashleyboz]

I had a blue silky rooster get in with our blue and splash Cochin hens and our black silkies and blue silkies. I have a lot of cool blues going on! And a lot of black skin and legs. Some have yellow toe tips or black feet with yellow feet bottoms. Coincidentally I looked into fibro the other day out of curiosity! A general quick lesson on the genetics would be awesome and maybe point me in the right direction to which one would be Cochin and which one is silkie. I have guesses but not 100% with not knowing the genetic make up I might be wrong.

You may have some fibro. But most of them will only be regular melanistic. The only way to know is to butcher them which you probably don’t want to do

I’m in love! The yellow has a very very slight hue of silver but also looks paint we do have two dominant white breeds so I’m anxiously waiting for them to grow a tad!

What breed are the dominant whites?

We have two coops and the one that they jumped the fence was our Smokey pearls so one not two.
