Feathering Genetics

How does that work I wonder? And does it act like a recessive and pop back up again afterwards?


I found a picture of accidental Orangello...
In the second one, the pullet to the right is the typical red GHF color.

Has something to do with eb the brown mutation and the charcoal gene I think. The charcoal gene causes the dark head. Not exactly sure how its interaction with eb causes it but apparently they can both be found in the buff coloring.

P.S. I have something from dutch bantams I need to look for then Ill add it to the thread.

Edit: It was in rosecomb bantams that the dun color was achieved with crossing to buffs.

So buff can be used to achieve the dun coloration. From the kippenjungle. They used silver duckwing rosecomb and buff rosecomb to achieve dun patterned silver and then back crossed to goldens to get dun patterned goldens.
