Question.
Does the slate legs on the Red JungleFowl hybrid/Silkie cross make it Not a Skin Color Sex Link? Could a Fibro Sexlink have slate legs?

The Silkie skin color sex link cross only works when the hen in question has yellow/White shanks. But Red Jungle Fowls are id+(which boost dermal melanin). Perhaps your RJF cross hen has yellow shanks?

First question:
Both pictures are the same bird. From a [failed] sexlinking pair. The baby turned into a Boy. Is that why he hatched light and turned dark? Or do correctly paired dark skinned sexlinks all hatch light and turn dark?

Was the black skin male used for the cross a Silkie or Ayam Cemani?

So, would the Isabel dilute the gold laced chocolate? And if so, what would the resulting color be?

Lavender will dilute Gold and Chocolate. it will be very faint lacing

The Duckwing hen has shanks that are slate with green tinge.

Both Red JungleFowl hybrid hens.Not the best pictures.

Planning to do a crossing next year though, to confirm what I'm seeing is sex linked, or not.

Those hens can't possibly be F1 RJF hybrids. They would have Slate/Bluish shanks because they should have White skin as opposed to yellow shanks that give a green tone to the dark shanks.

White skin is dominant over yellow skin

Only one has yellow tinge. The guy I got the hens from kept a free range flock, & had too many chicks. I can look at the hen with yellow tinge, & see if her feet are yellow, or not.

They aren't F1s, they multi generational.

I'll look at the hen later, she won't come inside the henhouse right now.
