Peach is unique anyways as some say ita a cameo purple mix which means the hen is split for both and may throw either offspring

Guys, I'm sorry, no one here told me that the hens can split peach, i got confused between this idea and the fact that sex linked colors hens can be split for another color, i'm sorry again.

No problem, and no need to apologize! We were curious, as you never know what pops up in other peoples birds. Who knows, maybe someday there will be a non sex linked peach?

q8peafowl,,yes I did have some IB males that I hatched from eggs that was supposed to be split to peach.I find the odds of using two like birds that are both "split" to another color as in 2 IB both split to peach and actually getting the split or any offspring by that matter being the split color way to low to be feasible. Having to hatch out over 60 chicks to hopefully get the "split" color doesn't make economical sense.

I have ib bssp hens,,I have opal b/s hens (no Opal bssp yet) and one noticable diffrence is the longest tail feathers. The bssp ib hens has black on the end of their tails,where the opals has gray feathers. Neck feathers on the ib bssp hens will have a ring of carmel colored feathers close to the tops of their necks,,I don't think opals would have this. My young Opal bs hens are very close to being 100% white in color,except for the tail feathers being lite gray.

I have two Opal b/s males and hatched a barred winged Opal who's father is my oldest Opal b/s male,, I plan on breeding straight Opal b/s,,Barred winged Opal,and putting 2 bssp hens in with my oldest male hoping to keep their young knowing they have at least 1 copy of white and maybe pied and all should be b/s.

Bringing up the genetic issue made me nervous. I will be picking them up around St. Paddys day along with a pair of Spaulding Purple BS, and a pair of Spaulding BS. I almost tripped the trigger on a Jade BSWE cock and a Jade BSSP hen, but someone had spoke for the hen already.

I should have my flight pen done next week so I can get the breeders situated. The IBs are going to have to free range 24/7 if I don't find homes for them soon.

Probably opening a can of worms here, but isn't Peach a sex-linked color and therefore hens cannot be split to it?

I was also told many times that a sexlink color can not be split, wonder who found out it could.

Thank you, i'm trying to find peach peahen to get more chances of having peach offspring, but no luck yet, i just found this video so i guess the hen in the back is one of the opal silver pied hens, her tail is gray, of course i will get better look on her on Friday and properly will many pictures of them.

I got some pictures today for the hens i'm thinking are ib silver hens, but i forgot to get some pictures of the hens i'm thinking are opal sp hens, i'm getting old early

But i just record a video of them at night, not sure if it will show their color clearly in the dark, i will get new pictures for the opal hens tomorrow. I really need to know if they are indeed opals because the seller still has an opal hen, so if one of them weren't opal i could still exchange it.




























































All these pictures for just two hens which i'm thinking they are ib sp hens.

And this is the video for the hens i'm thinking opal:

This is a hen from the silver pied pen which the seller said its could be split peach, i can see some odd color feathers on her, some of them looked orange, aren't she look different?
