Fibromelanism in Chickens

Fibromelanism is unique to chickens. I haven't heard of instances of this in any other species.

Fibromelanism causes black skin, meat, bones and organs. Two chicken breeds that it is commonly found in are Ayam Cemanis and Silkies.

Trust me, I've butchered a Silkie before. Every organ is black. The blood isn't, of course.

Fibromelanism is caused by an autosomal dominant gene, but it needs the id+ gene to express. The id+ gene is sexlinked recessive. Id+ enables a chicken to have slate legs, or even dark facial skin in the presence of other melanizers.

Some slate-grey legs stylishly exhibited by a young Queeny

My hen, Starling exhibited a mulberry-colored face due to the interaction of id+ and other melanizers

Overview of some topics when it comes to drawing characters who are burn survivors.

DISCLAIMER. Please keep in mind that this is an introductory overview for drawing some burn scars and has a lot of generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. I'm calling this introductory because I hope to get people to actually do their own research before drawing disabled & visibly different characters rather than just making stuff up. Think of it as a starting point and take it with a grain of salt (especially if you have a very different art style from mine).

Talking about research and learning... don't make your burn survivor characters evil. Burn survivors are normal people and don't deserve to be constantly portrayed in such a way.

Consider supporting me on ko-fi if you find this to be helpful.

edit: apparently tum "queerest place on the internet" blr hates disabled people so much that this post got automatically filtered. cool!

second way more important edit: How are people seeing this post where I specifically talk about burn survivors being normal, real people, and still tag this as "TW body horror"? Not a single one of these drawings or pictures is a fresh injury. All of them are healed. How the hell would you feel if someone tagged a photo of you as "trigger warning: gore"?

Disabled people are not your fucking body horror. Grow up.
