Does the patterning on their head indicate any specific gene or genes? What about that band around the "collar" area at the back of their heads that some, but not all seem to have?

Hmmm, similar but definitely not the same. Mine don't have that silver coloring, it's black. Their wings are coming in black and white. One has a very prominent "v" on her head, but the other one, Teeny, doesn't.
Would you mind posting more pics of yours as they feather out?
Okay, so head dots and dashes point to e^b; I assume they are not always present in e^b chicks as I rarely see them on my silkies? I have seen them on some crosses (I'm working on bringing mottle & chocolate into my birds--separate projects).
Does the collar band at the back of the neck indicate anything?
