    Pearling/partial-pearling/non-pearling?

    Has anyone any ideas/thoughts about pearling/semi pearling/non-pearling? I am not too sure that factor/s involved which effect the degree of pearling are well understood. It has been thought in the past that two doses of an autosomal recessive (m/m) would produce non-pearled birds...
