Pied gene in chickens?

Yes, and quite honestly it's because her patience is lost due to your unresponsive manner when it comes to anything other than defending your assumptions about the chickens you are actually asking for advice and comments on. The reason I don't come off that way is because I don't get short when I get angry and write "floral-y" anyway. So my long responses don't come off as annoyed or frustrated.



What are the parents of that blue mottled pullet?



I know one of the parents is an Mille Fleur something and the other a Duckwing OEGB. Are the parents Mille Fleur d'Uccle and Silver or Gold Duckwing OEGB?



This is an excellent example of time progression showing how the mottling changes. It's a little different looking because she is frizzled. And of course no two mottled birds look quite the same because of the nature of mottling.

There's no reason to feel threatened and fight over a bunch of chickens. If you want to believe your own independent research rather than the advice of the people here that you are asking for help from them so be it. But don't continue to ask for help if it's not actually wanted or appreciated.



You use this image a lot to support your claims. That little OEGB cross bird is not mottled whether a feather or two appear that way or not. Genetically it is impossible. Duckwing OEGB do not carry a gene for mottling. If Mille Fleur is based on the mottling gene as I believe it is then the cockerel is split for mottled. He may express one or two feathers into adulthood but generally he will molt out of any visually mottled feathers which is common.

The blue "mottled" came from a barnyard mix. I also have a Lemon Blue OEGB.

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 think this chick I have is pied. These are older pictures will be getting updated pictures today of the chick. It's a runt of an Ancona bantam. She's the size of a button Quail.View attachment 1840713 View attachment 1840714 She's 3-4 weeks old in these pictures, but is now around 9 weeks old, and no white spots on body, only a few blue spots on her chest though.

Button quail are way smaller than that.

Here are the updated photos.View attachment 1841056 View attachment 1841057 9 weeks, and no white spots.

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

The blue "mottled" came from a barnyard mix.

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

I got her from a barnyard mix. She is tiny, I'll get a comparison photo tomorrow.
