Silkie Gene questions.

[warmfuzzies]

I have some chicks that are from a Japanese roo and either a cochin or silkie hen. They have some leg feathering, no head fluffieness and pink or yellow skin.

My question: Is the black skin dominant or reccesive. I thought they were cochin crosses, but then if the black is reccesive, I dont know.

Thanks!!

The melanization(black skin) should be dominant.

ETA: Looks at the number of toes also.

Normal toes, normal skin, must be cochin babies!! Thanks!
