color genetics?

[lane2800]

i've checked a lot of sites, cant seem to figure out what happens when a pied male is crossed with an ib female.

here is my issue, i have 2 eggs that came from a cameo silver pied peacock, the possible hens are purple pied, silver pied, and cameo. can i get cameo pied out of that if the hen was the cameo?

Your Cameosilverpied male has 2 cameo genes, one white, one pied (this is your Pied) and two White eye genes. He gives 1 cameo, 1 W/E and either 1 white or 1 Pied not both. The hen being Cameo passes one Cameo to hen or male. So no Cameo Pied. You get Cameo/(split)white or pied and carrying one whiteeye gene.

You can't get cameo pied from the cameo hen, cameo sp male x cameo hen= all the chicks will be cameo, some split for white and some split for pied.(all will carry single copy of white eye)
But you can get some cameo pied and cameo silver pieds, since cameo is sex-linked color so all the hens offspring from the purple hens will be cameo.
all the males offspring from the purple hens will india blue split for purple and cameo. They can be india blue dark pied, india blue pied, india blue silver pied and white.

The hen being cameo will only pass it's single cameo gene on to its male offspring, as it is sex-linked to the male. All female offspring from the cameo silver pied will be cameo.

Can a white male be split to black shoulder without any signs? Because these sure look black shoulder to me now.

Yes, White can hide just about anything. If I understand white correctly, it is not really a color and not really a pattern, it is more like a gene that masks colors and patterns by blocking pigment from being deposited on the feathers. So You can have a white male that is hiding any color under the white as well as any pattern under the white. Does that make sense???? And they look bs to me as well, I just had to ask about this one, it is from a friends birds and he was hoping it was a cameo, but I don't think it is.

Sorry I just now got the rest of what you wrote. I think they look blackshoulder to me as well, but I don't remember my one getting the dark feathers so early

The one in my pic is 2 days old and is getting those pinkish tan looking wing feathers already.
