Hi,

Odd question;

Has anyone (I'm thinking Ralph here) bred together two of the normal looking siblings from a platty sired clutch?

Just trying to see if anyone has nailed down the genetics and shared.

I wondered if anyone knew if the platinum looked as it does because it is het for one gene and homo for another or het for two. Or if the fact it has the leser gene from the sire means it didn't get the dilute because they share the same location?

If the hidden gene is recessive does it have a visibly different homo form if you leave the lesser part out alltogether?

Does that make any sense?
