That first pic is what the chicks look like from the OE roo when crossed with a non fibro hen.

Wow, impresive! so you are basically asking for a white colored Cemani? If so then this will be easier than expected.! since introducing the dominant white gene to them should be really straight forward

Yes basically. But I will also be adding other breeds to increase the size and would also need to know what to AVOID that wouild mess up aiming for a solid colored, fibro bird. Theres just so much info on the net to go through and I didnt see anything particularly helpful. That I could understand anyway lol

Most large white breeds are recessive white, where are you located? in the USA? Do you have a list of possible white breeds you could work with?

Yes I'm in the Midwestern USA. In my flock I have solid white birds of these breeds :Bresse, jersey giant, Easter Egger, leghorn, Aseel and O-Shamo. But I imagone I can get my hands on most any breed I might need.

Out of the list, the most compatible are the Breese(nice blue shanks due to id+ which will allow for full Fibromelanotic expression) and White Jersey Giants. I would stay clear from Easter Eggers as they have too many genes that will not complement your breeding project. The Asee and Shamo are too Asiatic Game type(body type)..

If you are to use the Breese or Jersey Giants you will need to do F1xF1 cross to regain the white color because they are recessive white.

White Leghorns could work but they are not known for their meat production, cross any of your Cemani roosters with white leghorn hens and look how the F1 pullets look.
