From the photo, I cant see any reason to think that this hen came from a silver pied male .. What is the reason that you think it could be ? george

Danny . As I look at Hopkins info, no where does it say he made a silver pied .. It referrers to the use of the silver pied gene to put silver pied pattern into different colors. I will go back and read it again..... george

Ok I never got an answer to my post on the thread i started. Would it be possible this hen had silver pied father. Mom is India blue for certain.




Very faint dusting of white on 1 shoulder.

I don't think anyone can see anything in your picture, too dark and too far away. I asked Brad if he could tell from looking at birds if he could tell what splits they may have and other than the obvious white flights he said 'no'. Recordkeeping is paramount.

I know, its very difficult to get a picture that shows it. The reason is the very light dusting of white on one shoulder. At the time of her hatch, I had 3 breeding males, 2 India blue and one silver pied. From what I have read and what you guys have told me, the silver pied would most likely be barely noticeable with an India blue hen? If know my yearling I sold was split to pied, just didn't notice it in time. This would be his sister. I did have a blue pied but I don't think the other males would have permitted him to mate, even though at 2 he had the train of a 5 year old.
The white on her shoulder is just now manifesting at a year and half.

I didn't do record keeping so much as were all free range and my lovely eye candy.

Does she have white flights or a white throat latch? If her father was a Silver Pied he carried 1 copy of white and 1 copy of pied, he would have to pass one of these on to his offspring. If she was split to white or split to pied some white flight feathers or a throat latch would be the more common "clue" you would expect to see. I think if she has a dusting of lighter or white feathers on a shoulder it would be more likely that one of her parents carried some watered down White Eye genes that were passed to her, and a Silver pied male's White Eye would not be watered down.

Ok thanks all. I was really hoping I had one of his children. He was such a gorgeous bird.

Thanks to all who helped me with my problem . The first post on this thread. Are copies of research done by a friend of mine and others. I met Richard Burger at a UPA convention about 8-10 yrs ago . Richard was a pigeon breeder "Deluxe " and as you can see was good in peafowl also... He gave me these copies of his work and I also have another one on Cameo . Sorry one of them is upside down. and small. I think they can be enlarged. If there is interest I will find the other one and post it. I think these were done in 1990-91 you can see these on line if you look up,,,, The Journal Of Heredity... vol 82 number 1 ...Jan/Feb 1991 . connerhills

If you find the info on cameo, I would be very interested in reading it. Thanks again for the info you've already posted.
