Some of the forum members know exactely what I am talking about. I wonder if they will stand up and speak about what I indicate here or they will say nothing and exclude me from speaking more about this item !! ??
Hi Danny,
I think you've been very careful in explaining the Melanotic and Mahogany gene effects on feathers.
So, if I have right understood, this cockerel is:
Ml/ml+ (Eterozygote Melanotic),
mh+/mh+ (he doesn't have Mahogany gene because the flames are more yellow than red)
Ar+/Ar+ (he has this gene that produces some little dark red feathers)
I didn't know the existence of the Autosomical red gene: thank you for this :-) Is it a dominant or recessive gene?
What did you mean with your last sentence? Is there anyone intervention you're wishing to read? From any particular person? Sorry for my english, I try to do my best :-)
Carlo
P.S. Are the Melanotic gene effects also present in one of the tail feathers? Do you see the green sharp in this?
