Re: The things that make you go hmmm

Thanks Johan,
Tienie's edged-opaline hen was bred from a similar cock, so it further supports the premise of being linked rather than allelic.

since the pieds have a variety of phenotypes it will no doubt alter how an opaline-pied combo will look like depending on type of pied used.
