That is interesting to know...I could have sworn that I saw slides from autopsied birds that showed the open holes.

I think I have seen the same... I wonder if some close and some dont ?

What will I get from a bearded white Roos and a non bearded black hen?

Would breeding his offspring back to him cause problems?

you can breed offspring to parents but not offspring to offspring but u shouldnt breed any defects back to defects it will make it worse

I'm pretty sure you won't have white chicks unless the black parent has the white gene.

You will not get white unless the black hen has a hidden white gene like sanna stated, BUT, if you don't know the white's background there is no telling what you will get. Most likely all black though since black is a dominant gene. Also, you should not breed bearded to non bearded, you will just get poor quality chickens.

How can you tell if your birds have dominate or recessive genes? Starting to understand....I know you have to breed them but....
I raise white and bbs

The shape of a silkie comb is like a walnut, hence a walnut comb.
