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.
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?'.
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.
