Hi Otis,
You might find breed conservationist Andrew Sheppy's article on the genetics of colour variation in domestic chickens useful.
Sheppy, A. 2011. The colour of domestication and the designer chicken. Optics and Laser Technology, 43 (2), 295-301.

Subject: [ZOOARCH] Depigmentation in Domestic Birds
Hello all,
Does anyone know of an article on de-pigmentation in domestic birds?
I'm trying to explain why the appearance of white geese in the old world demonstrates domestication.
Thanks,
