Bobtail coloration, or just odd coloring?

[EmmaRainboe]

I have a Marans mix that's incomplete albino,

I thought he was split sex linked albino? Is there a difference?

It's the samething, just different name. Make sense?

I'm not sure, I'm not well versed in the world of genetics. Just always lurking and looking to learn more.

I seen that this same mutation is found in Oriental Games, so hopefully some of my Malays have this.

It's fine, I lurk too.

I'm thinking I might breed him to his daughter as an experiment, & hatch maybe 3 of her eggs, & see what their offspring looks like.

@NatJ
Can you help out abit if you can? I know that Bobtail is a coloration caused by Incomplete Albinism, or Sex Linked Albinism, but just want your opinion on my Jelly Bean.

Bobtail is recessive white based on brown.

Chickens have some variation in the distribution of pigment among individuals. Some of the silver of the neck is present on her breast.

It is incomplete albinism

Bobtail is recessive white based on brown..

Bobtail is recessive white based on brown..

Two copies of recessive white produce a solid white bird, so bobtail isn’t recessive white.
