Silkies can be all white, and they have one copy of the FM Gene.

I need to sale 2 of my pure blood cemani roosters


The one in the front of this photo.

and

The one in the back of this photo by the tree...


They are not perfect and will be priced that way.
but the are fully capable of breeding perfect black because they are pure cemani.

PM me if you are interested...

I know silkies come in all white as well, but a smooth/regular feather bird with the jet black all everything as a Cemani would be awesome to see.

I had one fm pullet with white feathers. She was beautiful. She was from Hmong breeders but she passed I was so bummed

Cool. since I have a cemani male and Hmong pullet, hopefully I'll get a white feather bird in the future

Boykin I do not understand this statement.
Do you mean feather color or skin color? Either way can't figure out what you mean.

As the feather color genes are inherited separately from the skin pigment genes you can have white feathers on a FM bird.
But in the case of regular white silkies (not all the the paint though- they can have an autosomal dominant form of white inheritance) the white is recessive so need 2 copies of the gene for the bird to have white feathers. I know this because I made the mistake of using white birds instead of black as a base for making mottled silkies and it took 2 generations to get rid of the recessive white.

You can therefore have 2 totally black birds that produce white offspring. In fact 1 in 4 would be white in that case.

Some plumage genes can however affect skin FM expression, and mottled happens to be one of those making it pretty much impossible to have a totally black skinned true mottled bird, as the skin will have mottled patches.

If you are referring to skin color, why would pure bred silkies have just one copy of the FM gene? They get them from both parents??

As Turtle Man would say,, Come Get You Some. LOL

Since this is a ayam cemani thread I think I will post some ayam cemani eggs.

@Chickenwingo Always love to see AC eggs in the cooker. Did you get a new incubator?

Is it too late for me to join in on the Cemani discussions on this thread? I just received my Ayam Cemani group yesterday from Michael Bean. I know they are not perfect, but it is a starting point. I also have some eggs set in the incubator right now, that I am hoping will have black tongues as mine from him are all tan except one which is grey.
