I am extremely interested about Indigo and the questions and new opportunities it represents. I was thinking about getting a pair and trying to breed it them to Black shoulder, pied, and possibly even silver pied. I just need some help with the genetics. If I breed it to black shoulder I would get IB split to Bs, Purple, and Bronze cocks, I would also get Purple hens split to Bs and Bronze right. I did the punet square earlier without thinking of the fact that purple was sex-linked so I am not sure if I am right about any of this. If I breed those F1s together I would have a 6.25%, with each chick, chance of getting a Indigo Black Shoulder right. Would my chances be the same with pieds and silver pieds, I still do not really understand the genetics with traits that do not breed true. My chances would double if I started with purple or bronze black shoulder, pied or silver pied hens, I think, and I want to work with other breeders so if any breeders have purple or bronze hens in those patterns and would be willing to give or loan me them for this project we could work out a deal in which you got some of the offspring or some of the completed project birds. Please could someone good with peafowl genetics tell me if I am right about everything. - Tristan
