SELECTING FOR THE STANDARD:
THE JAPANESE CHALLENGE
Not all Japanese that you purchase have the correct short legs. For a Japanese bantam
to have legs that fit the standard's criteria, raisers must be willing to work hard, select
birds thoughtfully, and have an understanding of what it means to have a
lethal gene
,
a gene whose expression results in the death of the organism, usually in the embryo
stage.
