Curiosity post:
I've been hatching from my free ranging flock that consists of black copper marans and easter eggers. I had one little pullet hatch that appears to be somewhat "fibro", black eyes, skin, and legs. Do either of these breeds (i know, I know, easter eggers aren't really a breed🤣) have a recessive fibro gene? She's really cute and I'd love more of them!

I’m guessing the skin under her feathers is white, not black. Fibro is a dominant gene.
She appears to have a mulberry face, which is caused by the interaction of id+ (the recessive dermal melanin gene that causes slate legs) and other melanizers.
