How many breeders and bakck ups you have in total for all of your projects?

I try to keep at least 1-2 breeders, & 1 back up.

Malays, Goliath is my main breeder Long is second. Splash Wheaten, not totally sure I should use him, due to short tail. Maybe just fine for Malays, but not the PBA in USA project.

Standard Coop/Black to White Experiment group. I only have Dino as the main breeder, no secondary, or backups. Pumpkin Boy I'm culling, don't really have anything planned for breeding with him.

Giant Silkie Project, Floof is my main breeder, no back ups currently.

Only sticking to 3 projects, as a total right now.

Wanting to know the percentage of getting a black skinned naked neck with this cross?

Are you trying to get Parrot Beak longtails?

Yes.

Probably 100% chance of naked neck (so all chicks will have naked necks.)

Chance of black skin is probably 0% (no chance at all), assuming the rooster is pure for the light skin gene (blocks the action of the fibro gene that causes black skin).

If the rooster actually carries one copy of the gene that allows dark skin, then either a 50% chance or a 25% chance of chicks with black skin (depending on whether the hen has 2 copies of the fibro gene or just one).

Thank you for the info

The rooster's shank appear to be dark, if he is id+ and hen is Fm/Fm then 100% chance of getting dark skin chicks

Maybe the colors didn't show right on my computer. Yes, if he has dark shanks, then there definitely should be some dark-skinned chicks.

So sorry if I sound dumb. But does dark shanks mean he has the fibro gene but it doesn’t show bc it’s recessive?
