e/Lavender (chicken plumage)

New Query

Information
has glosseng: Lavender or Self-blue refers to a plumage pattern in chickens characterized by a uniform, pale bluish grey color across all feathers. The distinctive color is caused by the action of a recessive gene, commonly designated as "lav", which reduces the expression of eumelanin and phaeomelanin so that black coded areas of the plumage appear pale grey instead, and red coded areas appear a pale buff. (Crawford 1990, p. 139-140)
