It is a line bred trait. You can breed a red to a "normal" and the majority (75%) of the babies will be intermediate, a small percentage (15%) should have some nice red, and a small percentage (15%) might have no red at all. I have been breeding reds to whiteside for 3 or 4 years now with several clutches a year. These are the averages that I have seen. When holding back the best out of the first generation breedings, you can then begin to re-refine the red by breeding these back. Hope this helps. Take care!

My mistake. The 75% should have read 70%. I believe the general idea was conveyed. Thats what happens I guess when you post in a hurry!

Like Jeremy said, I believe it is line bred as well. There is no such thing has " het " for red.
