The ration is... T is a dominant Gene for tuft feathers on the neck, the rececive trate "+" codes for no feathers, the gene "TT" codes for tuft feathers but leads to infant death syndorm. It has been noted that a in very rare instances "TT" survive...

 

What would be the best way to test this trate? woule I cross my Tuft Chicken with a non tuft chicken to see the offspring? If all the offspring are tufted, then the chicken is "TT".. that would be my test right?

Technically, if parent is Tt, you have a probability of (1/2)^n of passing on the T to n offspring. So you can't be completely certain that it's TT just because it passes on a T, just exponentially increasingly certain.
