Re: Are Clearhead fallow and Violet linked?

I had the same idea that you have just developped... but it is not true. A Cinnamon-SL-Ino combo shows an increase in melanin (brown melanin) quantity respective to the amount of residual melanin (black melanin) present in a SL-Ino bird. This is due to a feedback effect on melanin synthesis. This w...

Re: Are Clearhead fallow and Violet linked?

Hm, but even a pallidIno is lighter in phenotype which is a combo of two alleles from the same locus and is expressing a blended phenotype of both mutations. So i would have assumed that a combo cinnamon and ino which aren't alleles of the same locus but closely linked would express the same color ...

Not many, but it can/will happen eventually. The male offspring should be homozygous cinnamon. If the f...
