Fantastic read! Very informative and easy to follow :) Now I'm curious about this goose (lighter bird) her mother is the grey goose and her father one of the white Ganders. It was interesting to read how and why this breed is dimorphic, but why is she so much lighter that her mother? Is this just variation amongst the same gene or something else at play?


 
I have been learning chicken color genetics, but I am clueless about goose color genetics. Am I to understand that white is actually genetically silver? If so, then I used an online calculator to determine that a white Tufted Roman gander over a Buff American goose would create blue offspring. Can anyone verify this??
 
Hi everyone!
Out of a very inbred flock, some of this females started to appear, what gene do they lack? Spotting or Dilute?
Thanks in advance

What do you mean lack? To be solid colored or to all be pied ? They are beautiful. What do the newest hatchling look like now?
