Golden Cuckoo Marans

Quote:
This from the Yahoo free translator. I assume that Cuckoo Gilded means Golden Cuckoo

Caption on first picture: Rooster Cuckoo Gilded of dark type hétérozygote for the factor Cuckoo. To the pure state, they present a color of gray bottom clearer.

Caption on second picture: This is the one of the varieties among the rarest ones of the Marans; she is a close one "cousin" Marans Cuckoo Silver-plated.



The coloris Cuckoo Gilded is constituted of a completely blocked plumage "cuckoo" on the whole body as the Silver-plated Cuckoo. On the other hand the clearer parties of the feathers (camail, back, lancets) are gilded color to orangish nuances instead of being gray or silver-plated

This color of Gilded Cuckoo is therefore especially present at the level of the camail of the hens as well as camails, back, shoulders and rooster lancets. One notices that the body bottom remains rather gray as the east also the Marans Cuckoo Silver-plated. This gray bottom is clearer with the pure rooster and darker for the roosters hétérozygotes.

Concerning the overall aspect, the variety Cuckoo Gilded gives the impression of an air of evident family with the Marans c-a. She also is matching of the same genetic factor (B) linked to the sex, person in charge of the coloris "cuckoo" plumage.

Same manner that for the Silver-plated Cuckoo, the variety Cuckoo Gilded is concerned by this light differentiation of nuances between the roosters and the corresponding hens. The gene (B) expressing itself to the state doubles with the rooster, gives at his place an overall plumage clearer than the one of the hens. The parties more clear of the plumages, are thus matching of a blocked orangish gilded color that is had to the presence in the génotype of the Gilded Cuckoo of the genes récessifs and linked to the sex the "gilded" that one writes (s+/s+) for the roosters and (s+/•) for the hens.

Subjects Cuckoo Gilded appear enough uniformly in the offspring of Marans Cuckoo Silver-plated of which the stumps are impure.

It is completely possible to recreate stumps of Marans Cuckoo Gilded, by introduction in the génotype of a Silver-plated Cuckoo, gilded gene (s +) present notably with the big cat to Black Tail or the Black Bronzed one. These crossroads allow, all while remaining confined inside the race Marans, preserving the first rate reddish egg qualities, to see reemerged also the pure Black Silver-plated variety in probate course. The MCF treats of these types of crossroads of colors in a section of Albert Roguet entitled "genetic of the colors of the Marans" available to the seat such: 03.23.97.45.03.
