Let's say you have a breed that's supposed to have rose combs...and every now and then a single combed bird crops up.
Do you cull it and ONLY use romb combed breeders?
Do you leave in the breeding program because this breed is so rare and hard to find?
I am not sure how the combs "work" in terms of breeding...I'm assuming it's a recessive thing since most of the breed has the rose combs and every now and then a single combed bird will hatch....but wouldn't the single combed also carry rose comb?
Thanks!
