what do u get when u mix these 2

Uwhen the male is a white and the hen is silver pied will it be pure white?

If it is white to pied it is 50% white, 50% pied. Silver pied is very similar, should be 50/50. There should be 50% white, but not sure if all the other 50% will be SP or pied WE. Depends on what the white bird came out of. The 50% is over large #'s so if you hatch say 4 chicks they could all potentially be white or all SP, or any ratio. Hope this helps

If the male is a pure white (no hidden genes) all offspring will also be carrying one copy of the white eyed gene. NO silver pied offspring unless the male is carrying at least one copy of the white eyed gene.

I have a white yearling from purple BS silver pied parents. If it's a male, and I breed it to a purple hen, what percentage will be white, and what percentage purple, or purple BS pied, or purple BS silver pied?

And if it turns out to be a hen, will those figures change, if bred to a purple cock, due to purple being sex linked?


The legs are pretty long, so I'm suspecting it's a male, but I've been surprised before!

ok your white will be a purple bs we under the white.

this white X purple hen = purple chicks male and females, split white,split bs, and some will be w.e.

because the purple hen is not split no whites,no bs, no pieds

All chicks should carry one copy of the we gene, yes? Seeing as the white male would be from silver pied parents (both would carry two copies) hence the offspring should all carry two copies as well.

All offspring (male and female) will be Purple Single-Factor White-Eye split to White and BS.

offspring get one gene w.e from the white male but none from the purple hen. reason no bs ,white,or pied, need the hen to carry these genes also

Sorry, I meant that offspring from silver pied parents should all carry two copies. Chicks with the white male as father and the purple hen as mother would carry only one copy of the w.e gene
