I am so confused about chicken color genetics...Horse colors are way easier LOL
Let me see if I got this right...
If I breed a lav (2 copies of the lav. gene) to a chicken of a non-lavender (no copies of the lav. gene) I will get a bird with one copy of the lav. gene, but it will not show up in the birds phenotype? Is that correct?
And If I breed a bird that has one copy of the lav. to a bird with one copy of the lav. I have a chance of getting no lavenders and I have a chance of birds with 2 lav. genes? And if a bird gets a lav. gene from each parent, then they would be lavendar phenotype? IS that right?
