genetics question

[Jaybird14]

i have a flock of sparklies and was wondering if i breed spark to spark what will they produce?

@Pyxis or @Enthusiast may be able to answer this question more in-depth as sparkly can apply to different colors similar to the fee gene according to my basic understanding. I am only familiar with myshire sparkly that is a pansy, jumbo wild cross. In that case you would get pansy, wild, sparkly and a certain percentage may make jumbo weight....there is also the possibility of tibetan which is used in pansy cross. the same principle should apply to whichever color combination your sparkly came from. hope that helps!

Hetero Sparkly to hetero sparkly will produce 25% normal color, 25%homo sparkly,50%hetero sparkly
Homo(pure) sparkly bred together will produce 100% homo(pure) sparkly
Hetero sparkly to normal color will produce
50/50 normal&hetero sparkly
These percentages are for true sparkly- birds that carry the sparkly gene, not the common wildtype(pharoah)eb, x pansy cross many have been led to believe to be sparkly.

As far as I know, Sparkly was a spontanious mutation, just like the Fees.

It inherite same as Fees, multi factor-dominant.
As mentioned before, the normal colors inherite under the sparkly characteristic independant and the sparkly gene just overlays.
