This is a busy time and I have not checked the forum in a while.I see this has turned into quite a debate.Fred Jeffery called dominate white a incomplete dominate.1 copy lets the recessive color show up as a few colored feathers.In guienea fowl it shows as a white breast on a cloored bird.I hatched the bird in question and yes it came from a lav rooster and a white hen with black spots.Lav is first black and 1 copy gives you a black bird.2 copies gives lav.I should not have let that bird get out but that is past.Her only value is that she can throw some lav chicks.I used some white/black hens because I had them.Start where you are with what you have.I have used dom white because of something Mike said years ago recessive white can pop up years later and who wants that.I have always used white in my projects.I added dom white so white can be eliminated later.I like shifting in new blood from other color varieties of ameraucanas.Dom white makes getting it out easy.The standard says white period.As I saw on the other forum someone asked who introduced dom white. let me say I and others before me.I saw mention of dunn.This is based on dom white and introduced before I ever used dom white.
