Pied gene in chickens?

[MysteryChicken]

Also- didn’t you claim she was a "tuxedo OEGB"??? She isn’t an OEGB or an Ancona bantam. She is a BARNYARD MIX

She's a runt. I thought tuxedo, & pied were the same due to pattern similarities.

Doesn’t look like a runt to me.

So its a barnyard mix? Or bantam ancona?
Or a barnyard mix that you've decided to call a bantam ancona?

She was a chick with black back, with yellow/white belly. Her head, and body structure fitted an Ancona better then an OEGB. She came from a normal sized bantam egg, but hatched so tiny she couldn't eat normal sized chick crumbles. Had to make her a mash. Still fits in one hand, no seramas listed only a couple OEGB.

I'll show you tomorrow, wish I took photos of her when she was a hatchling.

back at you. Got my tea and cheese curds.

I use that emoji while waiting for a reply some times.

I just realized this thread was totally hijacked from someone else. The OP wasn't even talking about the kind of pied folks are arguing about now.

I was giving a reboot, there's a difference.

She's smaller then a soda can pretty much.

Wow then you have some tiny hands.

I know I shouldn't. I really shouldn't, but I just can't help myself.

The blue mottled bird you posted claiming to be pied is not. It is blue mottled. Period. I have kept chickens, ducks, geese, guineas, turkeys, pheasants, quail, chukar, peacocks, and a large variety of finches and softbills from Zebra and Society Finches to Amethyst Starlings, and hookbills ranging from Parakeets and Cockatiels to Macaws. Some species of birds can display pied. Chickens do not.

On May 31st, you posted the same bird claiming it was a rare Blue Tuxedo Old English Game Bantam:

"I don't believe everything I read. I do my research, & figure out what's correct, and what's incorrect."

You're right, you don't believe everything you read. You just read until you find something that supports what you want to believe regardless of the individuals with far more knowledge trying to help you even though we all know it's pointless. You have not once taken the advice or knowledge given to you from anyone here.

"I do have an idea on how I can bring pied coloring into chicken breeding, but I'll have to test it out first. My idea is crossing mottled, and splash, & see where that takes me."

More cross-bred chickens displaying a variety of genes. None of which will be pied. That's what you'll get.

"Oh, yeah. That experimental crele chicken I bred is starting to get the distinct red patch on his wings like true crele chickens have, so I believe I've done something right."

Leakage. That's what that's called.

But you go on assuming that you're creating Crele birds without the genes required to make Crele, that you had a really rare Muffed Gamefowl when it was most certainly an EE despite the weak argument you used to support your claim that it was not, that your hatchery quality Silkies are something they aren't, or that despite the mutliple people stating otherwise that your flock must be getting picked off by weasel.

I along with everyone else here sees a pattern and I for one will no longer be offering my assistance or knowledge to someone who so obviously disregards everything said to you because it disagrees with your skewed opinions. Which I believe you call arguing when we do it to you. So good day and good luck with your birds.

It would have been faster to just hand out an award.

Wow then you have some tiny hands.

I do have the smallest hands in the family.
