Six different phenotypes of erythrocyte histone H1.b in ducks were described by using two‐dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The inheritance data were consistent with the occurrence of three codominant alleles of H1.b at an autosomal locus. Each of the alleles gave rise to one fraction. Two of the alleles showed a frequency of approximately 0.5 each in all of the three lines studied. The third allele was present in only one line with a frequency of 0.08. The analysis of samples by only one‐dimensional acid‐area polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis resulted in insufficient separation and did not enable the scoring or H1.b variants.
