Posted by Terry on 10/18/2006, 7:29 pm, in reply to "Re: Tuft genetics question" What modifiers are present in some birds and not in others? Good question. As the late, great Ralph Sturgeon once said, "Start from where you are with what you have". Thais definitely applies to Araucanas. Breed the best to the best and keep good records. Eventually, "strains" will develop and these birds will be the ones sought after...
4.246.48.118
Generally, I concur with the previous responses. It does seem, however, that some birds are better producers of good tufts than others. It may have to do with the modifiers, as stated. I don't know. Just as with blue-eyed humans, some blue eyes are "prettier" than others.
