color genetics?

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

Ooops... I was assuming the White Peacock that fathered these chicks was a White out of IB Pieds, and wasn't hiding the BS gene... but obviously I was wrong (even tho those 2 babies looked very White in your previous pics you posted in the other thread). Sorry for the mis-identification, being a novice I shoulda just kept my mouth shut, lol

Congrats Mandy,

If you own the adult pair that produced these chicks, hope you get a bunch more gorgeous chicks from them!

Hey no problem with the misidentification. I asked because I thought they were white, but no big deal, I will love them all the same. I feel bad I was trying to get a white baby for Margaret8. She will be disappointed. But I have 30 eggs in the incubator so maybe I will get one white baby for her. Yes I own the adults so now I know what I can get I know who I am going to pair him with next breeding season.

I know I should just zip it

but, lol...
Since your BS PeaHen is split to White, there is a chance you will still end up hatching some White babies from that pair.

I have a friend that has a purple pied white eyed male, breeds it to a purple hen.
The few hatches they have had they've gotten whites and/ or purple pieds...will they ever get just purples ?

That means the hen is split to white. There is a 25% chance of white, 25% chance of pied, 25% chance of split to white and 25% chance of birds that would carry 1 copy of pied gene but look like a regular purple. 50% of all offspring will be carrying white eyed.

Is there a way to get a Ib pied without having an Ib pied

If I am understanding the question ( can you get pied from nonpied birds ), I think the answer is no, unless the parents are split to pied and not showing it.
