Ash red and brown are sex-linked so the male passes on a base color gene to both male and female . and that peak and shell crest may not be the same gene, so the reference to

As I was going through some old Racing Pigeon Pictorial magazines, dated August 1984, I came across an article on "Can Colour Be a Guide?" That is the granddaughters of the hen. D. Recessive Red: Recessive red is a recessive modifier that causes a pigeon to appear to be a brick red color, sometimes it is a brighter or slightly duller brick red.Any pigeon can carry recessive red but it must have two doses to be recessive red since the modifier is recessive. markings and some tell-tale lacing on upper tail coverts. Here is one of those same
For example, if both parents have blue eyes, your baby is very likely to have blue eyes as well, so the calculator gives a 99% chance of this.
