Okay, so what does that mean (stuck on stupid)? The male I put her with has has white flights and a tiny white throat feather.

Dad was my "showy" pied Harley, I will not refer to him as loud, since we don't all agree on what that means. She will carry 1 copy of the pied gene, and 1 copy of the white gene. She will carry either 1 or 2 copies of the white eye gene. I am guessing your male is a split to white, if so you will get white chicks, pied chicks, possibly silver pied chicks. If your male is a dark pied he would carry 2 copies of the pied gene and no white gene so you would never get white chicks from them. A split white is a nice choice of males for her.

So if he were dark pied could he ever produce white from a split to white hen? I ask because he and some of the split white hens produced white last year.

As a dark pied he would have no white genes, so if he produced white chicks he is definitely split to white. Sometimes the only way to know is to breed them and see what you get.

Quote: Thanks! My only white chicks last year came from his pen, which is nothing but birds that look split to white.
