What Does This Test Tell You?
♥
Recessive white is inherited when a bird receives a recessive copy from each parent. A bird carrying only one copy may not appear white but can still pass that copy to its offspring. Testing helps reveal genetic information that cannot always be determined by appearance.
Possible Test Results
✿
C⁺/c
Heterozygous – Split
One normal copy and one recessive white gene copy were detected. This bird may not appear recessive white, but it is split for the recessive white gene and can pass the recessive copy to approximately 50% of its offspring.
c/c
Homozygous – True Recessive
Two recessive white gene copies were detected. This bird is genetically recessive white and will pass one recessive white gene copy to 100% of its offspring.
Know Carrier Status
Identify birds carrying a recessive-white copy even when it is not visible in their feather color.
Plan Pairings
Use genetic information to make more informed breeding and pairing decisions.
Simple Sample
Testing requires only a small dried blood sample placed on a clean coffee filter.
