Bronze Pied Peafowl

[Peafowlssssssss]

I was thinking of adding a purple black shoulder silver pied hen to this pen so i can get bronze black shoulder pied chicks in the future, so can anyone tells me the percentage of chicks i will get from this mating? the male is spalding bronze split white and the hen is purple black shoulder silver pied. i understand that i will get some pied chicks split purple and bronze, some white, some india blues half split pied and half split white, and of course all of these chicks are split purple, bronze and black shoulder.(except the hens they will not be split to purple)

if anyone can tell me the percentage of these chicks it will help me a lot.

Also if i mated these brothers and sisters later for example if i mate: india blue pied male split (purple,bronze and black shoulder) with india blue pied hen, white, india blue split white, india blue split pied hens. of course all these hens are split for bronze and black shoulder. so what the percentage of chicks from each hen will be?

Also, will i get some silver pieds from this mating since all these birds came from silver pied hen?

Silver pieds you'd get from breeding the siblings. I'm not good on percentages, but the odds of hatching bronze BS pied from the brother and sister are not favourable (like 1:32 I think and bronze BS sp at 1:64). You need to hatch a lot of chicks to get that. If it were me, I'd go ahead, but you have to remember you need to either house those extra birds, or have a way to get rid of them. It never hurts to try, you'll likely learn a lot on the genetic quirks of each bird. By the way, there will also be a 1:128 chance you'll hatch Indigo BS pied! They'd be the first indigo bred outside the US

Oh i didn't thought it would be too hard, on the other hand i learned something new about indigo, but there is no way to keep all this chicks, i think it will be easier for me to focus on getting just bronze pied by breeding the daughters back to their father, so it will be like this:

Splading Bronze split white X pied or split pied hen(split bronze)
