Hi Mike,

Try to have a look at the skin colour under different lights including, of course, uv. Let's see if any kind of relation can be made with the final feathers phenotype.

Re: How to identify homozygous Indigo Chicks ?

Hi, We call a parblue to a bird showing a partial expression of psittacins. This partial expression can be achieved by two mechanisms: 1. Partial activation of the pathway leading to psittacin production so that a lower amount of final psittacin is produced. 2. Partial inactivation of the pathway le...
