Pink toes in recessive white + cuckoo silkie ?

[nzchicke]

I am just wondering since at hatch I can tell who has barring (cuckoo) out of my silkies wether they are black, blue or splash based by the tips of their toes being pink not blue/black. Rather handy

but I am wondering if some come out white- definatly recessive- will they still have the pink toe tips?

have other people bred this out of their cuckoos? it does not worry me as I just like looking at them they are so cool! it is helpful at hatch too

The barring gene inhibits the addition of black pigment to the shanks and feet of a bird. If you cross your birds so that the offspring are white and barred the shanks and feet of the offspring will be white.
