IB silver pied hens and opal silver pied hens

[Peafowlssssssss]

The orange color on her breast is the green blood in her and the beigh feathers are also from the green blood, i have a hen here out of a spalding that looks just like her.

It will be great if its spending, I just remembered she was more flighty than the other hen in this pen.

She has pretty long legs

Yes, my Fred sure does produce long legged offspring, long necks too. I have Diva, the spalding hen I got from Blue Creek and I wanted to ask him if he knows approx. what % green she is, because I don't think she is going to have legs like that.

Diva is likely out a Spalding Silver Pied Peacock (and I did not get any percentage information on him), which I only have one bad picture of. If so, then she could be split something. I have two more spaldings here and they are from Taylor Hill Game Farm's high percentage spalding male (31/32 just like Fred) and they are very tall and nice looking.

Regarding q8peafowl's hens: I believe both in the video are opal silver pied, and the lighter hen in the pictures is IB Silver Pied while the darker one is Opal Silver Pied. @Garden Peas you should post pictures of that Opal Silver Pied hen you got from me for a comparison.

Hmmm if she is out of a Spalding SP wouldn't he have had to pass on either a white gene or a pied gene and at least 1 copy of white eye? If so there is no sign of it, I have seen no white feathers on her anywhere. She is much darker than my spaldings and has a brighter yellow loral patch at this age than mine do, which would lead me to think she may be a higher % green than mine, but she is shorter.

I went out and got pictures of a nice one from the 31/32 spalding male. Diva is probably from the same male, but her mother may not have been one of the high percentage hens. I will try to remember to post them later.

She has white throat feathers, also if i'm seeing right she has some white feathers on her back.

2 different spalding hens, one hatched here and one purchased from Blue Creek.

Crawford



Diva

Oh i was talking about Crawford

I thought you were. Crawford is out of my Fred and a IBBS hen with some splits. I know she is 50% or lower Spalding. I was asking Blue Creek about Diva's genetics and he thought she might be out of a Spalding SP, but that didn't make sense to me because of the lack of white. If it was Crawford, I'd have believed it, she looks right for a SP offspring.

I had an opal chick out of silver pied male before without having any white on him, I thought he may be split for pied.
