It’s a learning morning. I got curious about the scientific basis of the ‘split’ gene and my ‘scientist’ husband, who does a lot genetic research stuff was right on it. He likes it when he can contribute legitimate input to my crazy feathered obsessions.How soon can you tell if a lavender (self blue) has a shredder gene? I'm assuming mine all do, but I want to make surebefore I move extras along that I'm not getting rid of possible nonshredded.
What color would be best to use to make splits? I'm assuming black? These are bantam Cochins
(He didn’t delve into it, but said the papers are definitely out there - more schooling saved for another day)
