Hey Tim, the dominant white gene is know as the leaky white right...Which i know i have both types here in my araucana, i believe the recessive type doesn't allow any color leakage and the dominant white does..
Ive read else where, that birds can carry both white genes as well. I quess if a bird had both genes that would be tough to figure out???

Thanks
Charlie

Can someone explain this, How could a bird carry both the dominant and recessive white genes?
If they have both would not that make the bird a recessive?

Sure hope Shaffer posts the pics soon. The pair you have Shaffer are they dominent or recessive?

OK, for all of you who don't understand what BUSY means here is a picture of my cockerel. HS

Picture removed: Not good ethics to show birds that I have bought.

Nice bird Harry. He is really impressive!!

He should be one big boy when he matures fully.
