How can I obtein white columbia?
Clodiloa
This is not as simple as the theory tell us !!
Because for some reason it seems not to be possible to create in Silkies the coloration "Columbia" in both sexes !
The gene "Co/Co" not work in the same way on hens as on cocks, resulting in hens as "incomplete Columbia", they look as light Silver partridges or as white blacktails. The cocks come close to what should be "Columbia".
We did yet in 2008 a presentation of "Columbia" Silkies in Bruges on the international exhibition
This was as close as I ever came !
