Silver Pied bred to White??

[bdfive]

General rule of thumb is that if you breed two peafowl that are different colors the offspring will "default" to india blue coloration. With the sex linked colors such as peach, cameo, purple, and violeta it's different but even though the male birds might be split to cameo you won't be able to tell just by looking at them.

So lets say I keep this female I hatched from a male Silver Pied and Cameo hen. Next year I breed the Cameo hen to another Silver Pied male and keep a male chick. I then breed the 2 chicks that came from Silver Pied male and Cameo hen (same mother, different father). What color would the male chicks be?

A hen that came from a cameo hen and a father who isn't a cameo or split to cameo would just be an india blue hen not split to cameo at all since with the sex linked traits if a sex linked hen is bred to a non sex linked cock bird only the male chicks would be split to cameo. What you'd have to do to get more cameos is either get a male cameo and breed them that way, or take a split cameo male and breed him to that hen. If it's her son it can work but I wouldn't breed mother to son over more than 1 generation.
