Is one of the peachicks pied?

[trueblue8364]

Hatched two peachicks. Both parents are IB and not pied. One of the chicks looks pied. White wings and a lot of blonde. The other one does not. Any thoughts on if it's pied or not?

@KsKingBee do you know?

I know nothing on pea colors or genetics, lol...

It appears to be IB split White.

It appears to be IB split White.

Thank you!

I would trust this opinion, @trueblue8364

Well I appreciate the honesty and the effort

It appears to be IB split White.

So peacock is already split to white, Momma is not. What does that produce?

My guess, from what I understand in genetics (could be wrong as I don't know if peas are different) is that some offspring would be IB and some would be IB split to white...

Split (in my experience) means it is carrying a recessive gene, takes 2 to express(or express fully?)... mama not having the recessive gene means offspring can *at most* only be splits as the daddy can only pass on that 1 recessive gene approx 50% of the time...


But I might be wrong...

Yeah that pretty much is in line what I read. Good chance then momma is split and I'm not aware. The breeder didn't have too much info on history but momma doesn't have any white flight feathers as are common in splits. As days go by, it's quite appearent the chick will have a lot of white on the body. Curious how she comes out.
