Green shanks and adult mortality in chickens.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

McGibbon W H

Abstract excerpt

A mutation of recent origin in Cornell randombred Leghorn chickens causes the shanks to be colored green due to melanin-like deposition in the dermis, in contrast to normal yellow. Some pigment is often present in the mandibles and the mature feathers display an ashen cast. This mutant is determined by an allele, idc, on the sex chromosome. Excessive adult mortality with a high incidence of tumors, mainly...
