White Breeds for Fibro Pen?

[Pigeony]

Just a random suggestion, but if you could find any birds that carry it, dun/khaki might be a fun gene to play around with in a fibro pen. Dun is an allele of dominant white that dilutes black to light grey but doesn't affect brown/red feathers. With two copies, you get khaki.

As far as I seem to understand the theory this is only applicable if the AC is the father and the WLH is the mother. If the reverse is true than they aren't sexable at hatch. If you don't know which one is which parent then it's just 50/50 guessing if it's a boy or girl. A lot of members in that facebook group seem to not know this.

That part I did take note of but yeah…people generally don’t pay attention to details

Oh cool! I will look into that!
