Pied genetics in the humble ruddy
Posted: 27 May 2013, 22:11
Hi guys
I am trying to work out the inheritance pattern for the pied genes in ruddys.
As you can tell I am no genetic engineer.
I understand how it is passed in budgies but this does not seem to translate into my results on the ruddies...unless I dont have a dominant pied.
Can some one break it down for me?
I have 2 pied roosters and a pied hen plus 2 normal hens and one normal rooster.
Ideally I am going to breed pied with pied then back to normal to have splits though I am not sure if that how it goes.
