Silkies & Showgirls

[spectrumranch]

We have raised Silkies for many years, but recently acquired some showgirls. What will a Showgirl rooster bred with silkie hens produce?

Thanks
Randy

If the showgirl is heterozygous for the NN gene, you will get 50% silkie, 50% het showgirl.

If the showgirl is homozygous for the NN gene, you will get 100% het showgirl.
