Pied gene in chickens?

My 'youknowwhat' meter is breaking.

She looked like this as a hatchling.

You can kind of see her inside the incubator, but not very well. She's on the right side.

So did my mottled chick, based on residual down.
And several mottled chicks.

Here's a tip.
When you incubate eggs that are from a barnyard mix then you call the chicks barnyard mixes, mixed breeds, cross breeds etc.
You don't go on Google and find a simular looking chick and then claim yours is that breed.
When you say a bird is a certain breed then that is what it is and will breed true to that breed.
Barnyard mixes only produce more barnyard mixes.
How do you not understand that?

Not all not breeds that come from barnyard mixes are mixed breeds. You get purebreds in them too depending on the seller you get them from. There's sellers that sell purebred barnyard mixes.
There's different types of barnyard mixes, and I only search if I can't figure something out.

If it were a mixed breed, what would it be a mix of?
