what do you get....

[key west chick]

I guess I was more interested in the frizzle nn and showgirl cross than actual colors I might get. I have a frizzle nn roo and am planning on getting a showgirl, I just happen to want white. I may never incubate the eggs, just was wondering what they would look like.

An "understandable" Analogy, also.....(which is typical of "Sonoran Silkies"...a great teacher!)

My broodies have "thrown" some "Mutts" that will be interesting to observe, insofar as genetic traits other than color/appearance. (At this time, I'm more interested in Size, Egg-Laying, Health/Disease Resistance, and other such traits.)

Yet, still mildly interested in color/beauty (which is certainly in the "eye-of-the-beholder" when it comes to chickens!)

Thanks J.

Naked Neck (Na/Na H+/H+) X silkie (na+/na+ h/h) will give

- all offspring split for h, the recessive silkie gene, so none will have silkie feathering.

- all offspring will be split for Na, the gene for naked necks and display as Naked Necks. They will usually have a "bow tie" and more feathering on their breasts than birds pure for Na.

If the Naked Neck is split for Na (Na/na+), then half the offspring will be as described above and the other half will not carry the gene, thus having full feathering on their necks.

If the Naked Neck should happen to be split for silkie (H+/h), then half the offspring will have silkie feathering.

Put these two together and
- 1/4 will be naked-necked and silkie,
- 1/4 naked-necked and not-silkie,
- 1/4 not-naked-necked and silkie, and
- 1/4 not-naked-necked and not-silkie
