was just showing that there is two different mutations of color...that could match that pic....have no idea from pick on link which one it is either....just had two e-mails from people saying they were all the same color...lavendar...blue....silver...bleu...charcoal...twilight....just wanted to post the research articles on the two different views....didn't mean to muddy the waters...just trying to make them a little clearer...with over 100 call names we know some colors have multiple names given over the years...with the Roux plumage having the most I've found...14 found...for years I was calling it the wrong name till I found the historical name given when the mutation was discovered...
This is why a group of breeders and researchers are working so hard to try and clear up the confusion over multiple names....

I look forward to getting my basic genes understood lol. not to the level the article went into it. just as a mater of how many loci there are and whats dominant or recessive etc... I think a lot of challenge happens because some people look at the gene and call it one thing, where as to me if its on a different base and looks differently it should be considered a different color.

Glad to add to the research! It does look like a beautiful bird, and now I'm tempted to go and buy some of those eggs.... not too far from me!
