I would like to know more about the genetics of color in Sumatras.
What I think I've gleaned so far is that they have lacing hidden under the solid black. Do you know of any other plumage traits that may be uncovered in crosses?
These birds also seem to have yellow soles of their feet, but I understand the melanistic gene is supposed to be relatively ineffective over yellow. What's going on there?
Thanks!
