Light down lethal: a new autosomal recessive down color mutation in Japanese quail.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Tsudzuki M

Abstract excerpt

A new plumage color mutation of Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) was named "light down lethal" based on its light coloration of neonatal plumage and almost total mortality by 3 weeks of age. Prehatch mortality of the light down lethal was also higher (36.8%) than the wild type (8.2%). The majority of the light down lethal chicks that hatched died within 1 week of age. Among the 103 light down lethal chicks that...
