Dominate silver

<< < (3/3)

jerryse:
I found it to be helpful info for explaining what I have seen. All males were clean in the first small batch. Later generations showed more variation. A incomplete dominant would explain that. I also wonder if AR is normal for the wild type. So maybe when we thought we had a absence of AR we really had a inhibitor present. Brown reds do not show AR so I wonder if the inhibitor is present there. Same for buff. Just thinking it over on these cold winter days.

Mike Gilbert:
Jerry, I agree on the brown reds, at least in the bantams for sure.   With buffs, I wonder if Ap is the reason for unevenness in the buff color in the males of some strains?   I agree it would not be present in lines where the buff males have a nice even buff color throughout.

From what I've read on The Coop site that is still up for grabs.  I believe some believe it is wildtype and others don't.  It was such a hot topic there that it is pinned for easy access.   

If you have links to topics on Ap on The Coop please post them.
