Chick Pics for New 2 and Our Chart

[KsKingBee]

The first chick is white next to india blue, and the second group the one on the left has a big chance to be silver pied, even the other one it **COULD** be black shoulder silver pied but i'm not sure.

Don't loose the hope yet, are any bird from this pen is split white?

How bazaar it would be if they turn out to be SP. The sources of the cock and one hen did not know anything about them except they are 'pretty birds'. I got the cock as a coming two-year old and could tell that he had some either White or Pied in him. I did not know until he got his first train this year that he was WE. I talked to the guy at the auction I bought him at and could tell that all of his stock had some WE in it and it would be a crap shoot as how this cock would turn out, I won.

I also have a couple of suspected hens from him in the IB pen that could be carrying BS.

The IBWE hen of questionable background I had seen last year and was paired with Ron, an IBBS I have free-ranging, and I saw one BS chick that was later lost before I aquired them both. Ron, the guy I got them from had no idea what their background was, he could not even tell me what color they were, 'There's different colors?'.

So all I know about them is what I can see.

The other two IBWE hens I know a little about, they came from a friend who raised them from Legg IBWE stock that he bought many years ago. He told me that he would get WE and White from the parents, so they may be the source of what we are seeing here. (?)

It is going to be interesting trying to figure out the pairings for next year.

If the male or the two hens have many white flights there is a big chance for one of them to be split white, last year when i got a surprisingly silver chick from my bronze pen i was always hanging around their pen every day after dusk to see which peahen hatched the silver chick, and after i marked an egg from the white eye hen it hatched later and it was silver chick, so this year i kept this hen with this male to get some silver chicks again, nothing hatched yet but hoping they will be some.

I know many will disagree with me here, but after these silver chicks hatched i believed if there was a white eye bird out of silver pied pair and mated with another white eye bird and its *split white*, there is a chance to get some silver chicks, asked few breeders about it and some breeders said yes it happened to them.

Rocky and his hens obviously carry way more genetic diversity than you think. There has to be pied and white in there and I would suggest one copy of silver pied. I don't think that the two chicks are silver pied. I would bet they are really loud pied. I would also bet that the black shoulder chick might be loud pied as well. I could be wrong and they could be silver pied. They are going to have a lot of white but I would bet a small amount that they are really loud pied.

I would bet that Rocky or one of the hens carries two copies of silver pied pied but does not carry both pied and white. He could, in fact, be dark silver pied and you just don't see it.

@KsKingBee Do you have images of these four birds?

It would be interesting to see them, and WOW if they were pieds with all these white they will the loudest pied ever!

Ask and thou shall receive. The two WE sisters have yellow bands on their legs and also have some white tipped feathers on their backs as well as more white flights than the third hen with no band on her left leg.

Not that these birds are relevant to this thread, but both of you asked me some time ago to see better pics of the trio of Peach Silver Pied I had bought. The cock was sick and now much better although he is on the bottom of the pecking order and has no crest.













And since we are off topic here is a head shot of an Oaten I produced last year. Does the blue in the face mean anything?

A couple of my other yearling Cameos have blue faces too, I am not sure what that means, but I do have my hopes.

This male could be a dark pied, he has white throat path and white flight feathers so he could be, you could pair a white hen next year with him and see if she will only will produce pied chicks, i'm still holding my guess on the silver pied chicks, especially on the black shoulder one, he just look the same as one of my bs silver pied chicks last year.

That's a nice peacock, hoping he will keep improving, and on the oaten hen, are you naming her or you mean she is oaten? Because she doesn't look black shoulder, but she is definitely pretty.

Ok, so you think he is IBBS Pied WE and possible SP I would like that very much. Let's see what @AugeredIn thinks. All this is helping @new 2 pfowl in id'ing the chicks in the chart so thanks for your input. Of course, I am ecstatic learning more on the background of my breeders too.
