>.... It seems to me that even though we may have recessive characteristics that are obvious to see we also have varying phenotypic expression among these layers controlled by a multitude of genes that in a normal animal would just go un-noticed or would be chalked up to "a cool looking" normal. How's that for a run-on sentence??



i agree, when viewing "morphs" we've got to allow for thke natural variation in the wild-type or "normal" animal, and realize anyi or all of those changes can occur on a morph, too, and have nothing to do with the morph, and everything to do with the natural variations of the ssp



>>Anyway just some thoughts that probably don't make sense.

they made sense to me, matt. should we both worry about that?



peace
