Need help identifying this chick.

I guess he would have to be carrying a WE gene -- and one of them must also be carrying a pied gene... If you are sure the father is split white, then it would have to be the mother, since otherwise with one W and one P, dad would be visibly pied, not just showing a tiny throat patch, I think... Lucky you with those gorgeous chicks

You really hit the jackpot on that one, genetically... Was it a huge surprise?

It was the best thing happened so far

True or false
Are there peacock P W We We how are not Silver Pied ?
P W We existe genetically ( genotype ) ... but not in the phenotype ?.... a Pied peacock can't be White eyes !
A blue peacock don't need 2 gene We to be fool White eyes ?
Why a blue peacock with 2 We is not silvering ? ... the P gene must be there to have a chance to see Silver color !
When P and 2 gene We are there ALL the peacock are Silver Pied?
The We gene are identical ... or some are different ( or different place on the chromosome ) to bring up the silver effect?
ALL the cross P W We X We results in some peachick Silver Pied?

Is there a text somewhere that I can check my answers before I respond?

I think we know the answer to that...

Yes, there are P:W:WE/WE birds that are not silver pied.

P W We existe genetically ( genotype ) ... but not in the phenotype ?.... a Pied peacock can't be White eyes !
Yes this bird can exist as a phenotype. It has a varying amount of white eyes as opposed to all white eyes.

A blue peacock don't need 2 gene We to be fool White eyes ?
Possibly, but most likely two WE genes are required for all white eyes.

Not all birds with 2 WE genes have silver coloring.

When P and 2 gene We are there ALL the peacock are Silver Pied?
NO.

The We gene are identical ... or some are different ( or different place on the chromosome ) to bring up the silver effect?
I believe that there are two different types of WE genes. One is plain white eye (WE) and one is responsible for silver pied (WEsp).

ALL the cross P W We X We results in some peachick Silver Pied?
Not in my opinion.

See my opinions above in red. I have been wrong before.
 
I have a cameo pied w/e male that looks a lot like this one, the white color doesn't cover many areas of his body, Is there any way i can increase the white in the offspring?

What do you know about the bird's parents and grandparents? Do you have any of the bird's siblings?
