Does that mean peach male bred to peach female produce not only peaches but also purples and Cameos?. I have not bred. I do not have any practical experience, but very keen on learning Thanks.

The appearance of a first peach hen from a cross of a purple bred to a cameo Is not the routine or normal process of breeding. It is one of the chromosomal aberrations that occured in genetics. Routinely, A purple male bred to a cameo female = IB looking males split to purple and Cameo, and purple females. When one of the chromosomal aberations (variations) kicked in one gene from one Z chromosome crossed over to other other , therby this new Z chromosome contains two genes " Zs and Zp " and then paired up with sex chromosome W. How is it possible.? you may ask. Simply we do not know . That is nature. The same thing with Mutations. A sudden and abrupt change. Why it should happen in the first place? Any answers.?. For example white color is a mixture of all colors that we can possibly think of. Every other color comes from white. What a wonderful mutation occured in Indiablue peafowl to produce a white peafowl ? if that is what it is.would be plausible if peach IS both purple and cameo- which has been brought up several times over the years- and the loci are not particularly close to each other, allowing them to segregate not so rarely. It's a mistake to assume ALL cross overs are going to be very tightly linked. And so that's how purples/cameos seem to come out of peach fairly regularly AND how the first peach showed up from the first discovered purple bred to a cameo.
She has white flight feathers, the breeder found that a bit strange sence the cameo male was with a bronze and a blackshouldered hen no white orpied gene expressed by any of the parentsThat is correct. A cameo hen can not be split to any other color. But. can be associated with any or a combination of pattern genes. like , white, pied and white eye genes.. That is how, we have, cameo split white, cameo split pied, cameo pied, Cameo pied white eye, Cameo silverpied, and cameo white eye birds.
A pied pea fowl must inherit a "white gene" from one parent and a "pied gene " from another. Otherwise there can not be a pied peafowl. Like Our friend Mr Arbor had, at one time peafowl split to white with out white being expressed any where on him or her.That was his personal observation from his breeding practices.. He also told me that a peafowl with a single pied gene - will be with neither white flights nor throat patch.. Therefore, it is a possibility- need not be strange nor surprise.-- It is my opinion.She has white flight feathers, the breeder found that a bit strange sence the cameo male was with a bronze and a blackshouldered hen no white orpied gene expressed by any of the parentsbut then i got pieds out of her IB pen and none of the parents had any white except what is normal for a regular IB A
