Recessive Edged !
Anyone has this mutation?

Looking at this site, you will notice the grey colored birds have a diff. morphotype to the others pictured
(flight feathers in particular with white tip).

Also notes that some breeders mistake this mutation with opaline.
Now, Could it be that the grey birds do have opaline in them? hence the confusion.
Although the grey birds are not what we would expect to see from an edged opaline combo.

Hmmmmmmm

Ben I have some birds i believe to be res. edge that i am test breeding this year, when I posted pictures of the birds some time ago no one had conclusive idea's on what they are. I have put the blue series birds to plain blue and the green to plain green birds, obviously if I am correct I will plain color split birds.



your thoughts on the bird above ?

I know only a little of the history of those birds from various different owners. They all originated from the NT flock and many have tested negative for PBFD, although not all. Therefore, a much wider range of tests were conducted on some of these funny "pieds". If I recall, the conclusion was that it was a dietary problem that caused liver problems later on. Everyone involved will have a better idea from birds that have since moved to new flocks where a better nutritional approach is followed (like for example at Peter's). I won't conclude that it is a recessive mutation, because it isn't visible in any offspring.

The above only in response to the bird in the picture uploaded. As for recessive edged, @Madas had some info on them some time back, but mostly only that there are a few birds of the mutation in Europe and that it is very rare.
