Sorry but didn't understood this part. Silkie with white skin?

Silkies are supposed to be genetically white skinned, with fibromelanosis.

Stupid question....

So.. homozygous yellow skin with fibromelanosis does not exist?

It does, I have one like that, that's also crestless currently. Makes earlobes a bright teal/green instead of blue.

That seems nice...I have never seen green earlobes.

I'll check to see if this Silkie is showing the green earlobes, or not yet, then get pictures to share.

Golden salmon Marans have partridge like chicks. They don't have the EB allele, they're wild type in the E allele (e+/e+).

From what I read both parents could be heterozygous (ER/e+) but I'm not sure.

The breeder from where the eggs came said that it was the first time that one hatched like this. And I personally saw the eggs being collected from a closed pen, so I know they're Marans and not a cross.

Any thoughts about this?

Wait, sexlink through leg color?

Yes, shank pigmentation is a sex link trait

It Does, but the Fibromelanosis will not be expressed. An Id/Id, Fm/Fm male will have yellow/White shanks and skin

The same principle applies to what I said about ER/eWh birds. ER/e+ birds aŕe indistinguiable from ER/ER, also ER/eWh x ER/e+ will produce e+/eWh chicks

 

[Joca13]

.......also ER/eWh x ER/e+ will produce e+/eWh chicks

And is it possible to predict what they would look like?
