Naked neck gene in silkies

[juliemarie]

Do only the roos pass on gene to offspring? I have a naked neck silkie hen and am curious if she will also produce naked neck chicks.

The way I've heard the roosters pass on genes to the pullets the hens pass on more to the cockerels

Naked neck is not a sex linked gene. That means it does not matter which parent has the gene for naked neck chicks in both sexes.

Naked neck rooster with not naked neck hen will give naked neck chicks in both sexes.

Not naked neck rooster with naked neck hen will give the same results.

Good luck, IMO these are cuter than the "regular" silkies...
