Comming from breeding rats, I allways thought that white bibs worked as with rats. Dominant. And full whiteness ressesive; dominating everything the rat caries.
With this calculator I use for ducks online I get;
Full blue male + white female; 50 % black bibbed, 50 % blue bibbed. Since it's quite unknown what the white duck carries; should I not get more options? Anyway.. I thought; it's possible the calculator just can't calculate with only the given 'white'.
But then I got;
Blue mallard male x black duck; 50% black bibbed, 50% blue bibbed.
Where does this white bib, that neither parents have, come from?
Clearly I'm missing something.
Would someone help?
And If someone is at it; Are harlequin fases mere the amount that the pattern get lighter? Like in cats the have genes that makes the cypers-patterns lighter? You have blue-cypers and blue with no cypers-marks at all.
And is it the only gene that has effect on the amount of pattern?
Thank you.
