Pied gene in chickens?

Pics
I get the there may be an egg from a purebred thing.
Even in eggs from a barnyard mix of eggs. If someone has a pure hen and a pure rooster among the mix of breeds they're collecting eggs from.
BUT when you're hatching eggs from a batch like that you can never be positive a chick that looks pure is so its best to call it a mix because odds are slim it isn't.
Question, what would the outcome be if I bred lemon blue with my blue "mottled"? Curious question, I'm bored, & just got up.
 
Lol
I'd have to see the "lemon blue" to see if that's even what it is.
Also if both are mixed chicks no guarantees because no way of knowing what other genes they're carrying that aren't showing.
I know this is just a curiosity question but if you want to learn genetics from actually breeding birds its best to do so by breeding pure birds so you know what genes they carry.

Will be posting lemon blue today.
 
This is the lemon blue at about 3 weeks old. I originally thought it was self-blue, but then it started getting pretty golden neck feathers.

The updated photos will be posted as soon I get them.
 
So in other words you have no idea what this bird is genetically either?
You're just matching its looks to an Google search?
I've tried to explain this to you several times before. Sorry I don't know how to draw a picture for you.
When you have unknown mixed birds there is no way of determining any breeding outcomes because you don't know what genes they may be carrying.
Breeding all these mixed birds isn't gonna help you understand genetics.
