Leg feather inheritance is 50%-50%. It's a dominant trait. Some offspring may not have feathered legs, skimpy, or moderate feathered legs.My friend has a pure silkie rooster. He is solid white with black skin and feathered legs. If he is covering clean legged hens like Australorp, Sussex, and Americaunas how much of a chance will it be to get chicks without feathered legs? I really like the idea of clean legged birds who are half silkie. We keep our hens as pets in our backyard would love one as friendly as a silkie with better laying habits and clean legs because we live in a VERY, VERY WET part of our nation.
The ones that inherited the feather leg gene are Split for it: Pti/pti+
