Am very surprised that you beleive that avain genetics don't apply to guinea fowl, what makes them different from the rest of the avian world?

NM is right, Avian genetics are not 1 set of sequence coding or 1 form of inheritance, The term "avian genetics" is so board and is far from specific, the variation of mode of inheritance is vastly different for many bird species not to mention chromosome numbers, intrachromosomal rearrangements, microgenes ect.. and more so with mutations. You cannot apply a "one fits all" it is also the most important of all. So bottom line if you have learnt a little about budgie geno (aka parrot) then that's all you have learnt you do not have an understanding of guinea fowl geno because of this as they are different to budgies, chooks, ducks ect.. more so on the mode of inheritance, microgenes and intrachromosomal rearrangements. This is why we repeatedly say that google searching genetics of duck, budgie and human hair is not the answer as googleboy/girl seems to think it is. Forget about budgie genetics they do not apply here no matter how hard anyone tries to make them fit. Remember a parrot geneticist (qualified) is not a guinea fowl geneticist and I doubt one would claim to be.

Well put Ace

With even the basic modes of inheritande being completely different between budgies and guinea fowl, then maybe it is time to give up trying to understand guinea fowl genetics.

With budgies basic modes of inheritande being completely the same as budgies stick with those

Not for us

we have a handle on them and we have the best mentor (PA) who knows their genetics backwards. Challenge yourself

We are not all fortunate enough to have a mentor, especially one like PA.

This topic has been the best read of my life and fully explains the red eyes in guinea fowls than657

You guys have shown incredible patience for explaining genetics even with those slow to learn, I think I would have told bemba and carlise to rackoff after the 2nd post but shows how good you are to explain and show facts over and over and over and over with them
