The genotype of the mottled bronze is (bb cmcm): Homozygous recessive genotype for bronze and mottling. They carry the same mottling gene of the painted turkey variety and are produced out of Bb based painted. The poult color/pattern at hatch is similar to a typical bronze but not exactly. The adult color/patterns of the mottled bronze show a mottled tail pattern with some frosting effects in the body and barring in the major wing feathers with a slight mottling pattern.
The plumage color of the mottled bronze variety is determined by an autosomal recessive gene, designated as cm. The cm (mottling) gene is the only one determining the differences between the typical plumage color of the bronze and the mottled bronze varieties.
A true breeding variety.
