| Description: | (A) Depiction of the progression of feather growth on juvenile heads from post-hatching day1–10 (D1 to D10). Arrowheads indicate the emerging feather follicles beneath or above the skin. (B) A comparison of the distinct morphology and color between the cheek versus the scalp feathers (the top of head, also referred to as the crown) [ 34 ]. Notably, the scalp feather exhibits longer barbs as compared to the cheek feather. (C, D) The strategy for collecting regenerated feathers from the cheek domain (C) and the scalp domain (S) of zebra finches includes three basic types of genetic traits: dominant, recessive, and sex-linked. The dominant wild-type phenotype is called Normal Gray (NG), characterized by males with red cheek and females with gray cheeks. The recessive mutant phenotype, featuring black cheeks, is called Black Cheek (BC), while the sex-linked mutant phenotype, characterized by light red cheeks, is called Chestnut Flank White (CFW).
