PEAFOWL GENETICS....PAGE 2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The pied gene 'P' is a mutation of the pattern gene 'B', more commonly known as the India blue.
|
'P' is an allele (opposite) of the white mutation.
|
Just as the black shoulder is an allele, (BB vs. bb) so is the pied gene opposite to white.
|
blue is opposite to black shoulder (BB vs. bb)
|
white is opposite to pied. (TT vs. PP)
|
So, are you totally confused? Understandably so...
|
Let's go figure it out.
|
|
|

TT= white TP= Pied PP= dark pied
|
|
|
So, what's this PP thing you say?
|
PP, dark pied will look like BT, india blue
with the white flight feathers or throat patch.
|
So, if you raise both, you'd better tag these.
|
They will become important down the page.

There's that PP again.
|
So what are they good for?
|
We'll show you below.

THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GOOD FOR!

PIEDS AND BLACK SHOULDERS
|
|
|
|
|
These are a bit more complicated since we are dealing with 2 Id genes (P and T) the India blue
which is carried as a pattern gene (I) and as a color gene (B) and also recessive bb (black shoulder)
|
But, once you've got one, you indeed have something special.
|
|
|
|
|
|
India blue Pied X Black Shoulder

GENOTYPE= 50%TIBb 50%PIBb
|
PHENOTYPE=
|
TIBb= India blue w/white f.f.
|
PIBb= india blue
|
|
|
|
|
|
TIBb=1 white gene(T), 1 blue pattern gene (I), 1
blue color gene (B) and one b.s. gene (b)
|
PIBb= 1 Pied, 1 blue pattern, 1 blue color, 1 b.s.
|
All these will look india blue
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next, we will mate birds from that first mating. Yes, we are going to mate brother and sister.
|
There are 3 things we can do here. TIBb X TIBb--PIBb X PIBb--TIBb X PIBb

|
In all of the above matings, it doesn't matter which color is male or which color is female.
|
The formulas work either way.
|
|
|
|
There are hundreds of additional crosses you could do with all of the birds produced above.
|
Play around, and see what you can create.
