Pied peachick

[peafowl_Lover]

Hi I have been posting a lot lately I am hoping to get a pair of peachicks, they are white peacock x Indian blue peahen what sort of genes will the chicks have? Any advice needed!

India Blue x White will produce India Blues split to white. These will likely have a few white feather (usually at the tips of the wings or on the throat).

Pied is a different allele on the white gene... I think chicks need a copy of both the white and pied genetics to exhibit the pied pattern.

Were you looking to produce pied?

You should really read these threads. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/peafowl-sticky-topics-index.389059/

The pied stuff can be confusing... it feels like you could take white and another color and get a mix like making a marbled cake out of two different types of batter... but it's kinda it's own thing. You need a bird with the pied pattern thrown into the mix.

Yeah, it's not like mixing paint.

If you are going to just make a stab in the dark buy the two with the most white on them and cross your fingers.

There is only 3 left 2 cocks and a hen one of the cocks has white on it. Which 1 should I get?

What will I get if I cross a black shoulder peacock with an Indian blue peahen?
