Re: anyone know anything about genetics?

Hi Jill,

If you have a whiteface with a pied female, in order to get
whiteface babies, the pied has to have some kind of white
face in her. If she doesn't, then you will get pied babies
and never any whiteface. White face is a recessive gene. If
the pied did have whiteface in her, then you could get
whiteface babies.

So the pearl female is the dominant gene, thus you got pearl
babies.

Hope this helps.

Debby
