HEy I've got a question? My BSIB has white tail feathers coming in! What gives??

That looks like a feather from his baby train I bet it will fall out soon.

It just grew out!

That is still his baby train. he will never have feathers like those again once he grows up

Blackshoulders take years to get their adult colors and loose all the white i would say this is normal, just like the white ticking on him now, unless he is split to white or pied.
Does he have white flights at all?

I got a question in the genetics. What would I get if I bred Thora (Spalding Split to White) to a White peacock?

Baby peacocks...

I am going to guess here, 75% White.

If Thora was not a spalding, then it would be 50% white peachicks and 50% split to white peachicks. Since you are asking about breeding a spalding bird to an India Blue bird, the first generation should be spaldings split to white, correct? Don't the offspring first have to be hybridized, then bred to the desired color (white spalding) by breeding them back to their mother?

Birdrain92, I haven't forgotten about sending you white peachick pictures, I just took them today.

Are the flight feathers the ones by the rust ones in the bottom of the wings?

Yes I did! I will have a nice contribution to the database once I get pictures of the chicks since they are bigger now. I still do not know all of the sexes yet but I will start working on labeling them to send to you.
