F6? Could be "generation 6" of a specific variety/breed/color.

So you cross a silkie and a naked neck. You have a showgirl "F1"

You cross two F1's, you get an F2

Cross two F2's, you get F3

And so on, and so forth. Assuming strict quality control, F6 should have the great majority of undesirable genetics weeded out.
