If it were a mutation in the mottling gene, which mutation would it be?I am not a believer: Pied as such does not exist in the Chicken genome, but mottling has multiple(at least 5 known mutations) so take your pick which one is causing your birds to have a Pied look a like.
Testing Pied or leucism in birds would require a Fibromelanotic background, any Fibromelanotic bird that has white patches on it's skin and if one of those patches is located on the face area and their eyes are red/blue then you have found the so elusive Pied or leucism in chickens
