Ok everyone I need some genetics help please! I have not been able to find the answer and am hoping that someone here may have some better answers/explanations for me.
The question I have is regarding the "candy corn" (crele/tolbunt polish?) and the tolbunt polish. I know the tolbunts breed true and from my understanding the "candy corn" polish breed too also. Is this accurate?
Additionally, I have heard that the "candy corn" and the tolbunt are the same base colors but that the "candy corn" have the crele gene, whereas the tolbunts do not. Would this mean that housing tolbunts and "candy corns" together would produce either candy corns or tolbunts and not some odd mix?
I have a lovely flock of tolbunts that I am very excited about but I also have a pair (smooth roo and a frizzle hen) of beautiful "candy corns." I want to know if I can keep them all and have pure tolbunt or 'candy corn' babies from the flock.
Thanks!
