We are getting two chicks that are 3/4ths ayam cemani. The other 1/4th is barred rock, their skin is black but could their fibro be diluted somehow?

I do not want it diluted, i just don’t want to advertise them later as fibro if it is diluted. I honestly don’t know too much about the fibro gene, we only got these two little guys to keep our other chick companyCurious, why do you want to dilute it? I have one FIBRO EE and i want his black skin to pass to his babies sooo bad (i havent bred him yet). Just logically thinking, will it dilute if you bred them with a white skinned chicken? Sorry i have more questions than answers lol
Oh gotcha! That makes sense. Sorry I cant help ya here. I am curious what others who have bred FIBROs say tho!I do not want it diluted, i just don’t want to advertise them later as fibro if it is diluted.

I can't claim to understand the genetics to fully answer a question but the grey chicken carcass is 1/4 Ayam Cemani. Looks to me like it can be diluted. When a Fibro male breeds with a non fiber female then the offspring females will have the Fibro Trait and males will not. So the gene is sex linked but that's the extent of my experience with breeding with the trait.
From experience the females will get the gene. I never processed the females to see if the color is diluted on the females with such a cross. I processed the males from these crosses and they had the typical meat color we are accustomed to.So the FIBRO Gene will go to the female babies? I am about to breed my FIBRO EE Roo, and was praying the gene would pass to his offspring
i guess I'll find out this spring LOL. thank you!From experience the females will get the gene. I never processed the females to see if the color is diluted on the females with such a cross. I processed the males from these crosses and they had the typical meat color we are accustomed to.
