This is Dolly, she’s a pure bred d’Uccle. Just not a very quality one, she gets more white and random black splotches with each molt.But that doesn’t stop her from being at the top of the pecking order. she’ll gladly fight with any of the other birds if they even look at her in a way she doesn’t like, and she’ll win. She’s also the only hen I know that crows. And we have five roosters lol. Oh and she can get out of almost any enclosure we put her in.

I see. I do think it’s possible that he’s an albino split, and his offspring are albino. However, it’s extremely unlikely. Silkies, especially hatchery quality ones, have been known to have offspring which don’t inherit their melanistic skin. Your only evidence for them being albinos is that they have pinker skin, which I would think is very hard to judge. The much more logical explanation is that he’s dominant white and his offspring are either dominant white or silver, or even that they aren’t his offspring.
When I’m trying to figure out what breed a chicken is, or even what breeds might be in a mix, I focus a lot on what’s most likely. For instance, I could say Popcorn is a Easter egger mix. It is possible that she’s an Easter egger mix, but it is extremely improbable. For one, she’s a bantam (and a small one at that) and bantam EEs aren’t too common. She also only shares one trait with an EE; her beard. So I could say she’s an EE mix, but it wouldn’t make any sense.

I have both dominate white, & recessive white silkies.
He bred with one of my recessive white hens with really great black skin.
I was describing the results of the breeding.
The the female chicks received nice white plumage, & pink skin.

This isn't a genetics thread, so if you wanna continue the discussion, make a conversation?

White feathers and pink skin would be possible with that cross without albinism. Considering how rare it is, it’s more likely that dominate white or silver caused the coloration.
I appreciate the discussion, but I don’t think I can add anything else, so a conversation would be pointless. :p

I'm still waiting for the results. I sent feather samples to a professor last year.
