Pearl fee: an Italian patterned bird with the fee gene that turns the red/brown gray or white, very pretty!

Makes sense. However it seems to have extensive amounts of plain white.If I cross a common Falb fee with an Italian (I have both), would the pattern of the Italian remain and the darker grays from the falb fee disappear?

Falb fee is pharaoh (two wild type genes) plus fee (homozygous or heterozygous?)

An Italian is a fawn and pharaoh (Manchurian would be two fawn genes, no wild).

It would be a simple punnet square for each gene set as they inherit separately. You’d get half Italians and half pharaohs, for the base pattern.

Assuming a homozygous fee gene all offspring would be heterozygous fee (so falb fee or pearl), if heterozygous you’d get half heterozygous fee and half wild type (so 25 percent each wild, Italian, pearl, and falb fee.

If you want more white on your pearls, aim for homozygous fee (two copies will wash out more of the base color so breed your fee carriers to homozygous fee birds) also make sure you don’t have one of the pattern enhancers in your mix which gives you more barring and streaks (sparkly, pansy, calico, also separate genes!).
