I found this article to be quite interesting. I know that dwarfism shows up on various animals for some reason or other, but had not heard of it in chickens.
I have a question on it though. If dwarfism needs 1 gene from each parent to be a dwarf, how can one that carries 2 genes make all off spring dwarf? shouldn't the off spring be getting a gene from both parents to do that? If one parent is a non-carrier, shouldn't it pass on a good gene? that part I find interesting. Shouldn't the dwarfism carrier with the 2 genes only pass on one of those genes?
Crazy I know. and weird that if the parent is carrying 2 genes, why wasn't it a dwarf? The more we find out the more questions we have.
Still a very informative article, and I appreciate you putting it out there.

Lots of good, logical questions and I wish I could answer them. I would have to ask the researcher/veterinarian who did the testing and told us that. I agree, the more we discover, the more we don't know!
