5-S-cysteinyldopa and trichochromes in red feathers.
Red cock feathers (Rhode Island) were found to contain dopa and cysteinyldopa, trichochromes B and C, and two unidentified trichochromes. Trichochromes E and F were not found. Previous findings of trichochromes E and F may be explained as artifacts.
