White or White white eye peafowl?

[scootj79]

Ok so here is another question then. Silver pied to a pied gives what then? Pied birds, white birds and dark pieds all having gene for white eye... or will each one be a split to silver? Is that possible? I mean if you take offspring from a silver pied bred to pied and cross them will silver pied show back up or is it gone completely now? The genetics on this I haven't found from anyone else doing this so I am unsure. On paper it seems it would show itself again but I dunno.

Silver pied to a pied gives what then? Pied birds, white birds and dark pieds all having gene for white eye? Yes.

I don't know if there is something called split silver pied, there were many discussions about this.

As i know a regular pied bird with silver pied will not produce silver pied, but if you take their offspring and mate it back to silver pied birds, you will have some silver offspring, also when mating these offsprings brothers and sisters they should produce silver pieds.

Thank you. If thats the case then I must assume split to it occurs but we need further breedings to test it out... which means time lol. Thanks

I have a Pair male is Pied w/ one copy of WE, hen is Silver Pied. Each year they produce Silver Pied Chicks. I took one of their Silver Pied daughters and paired her with a different Pied male also carrying one copy of WE and they have produced several Silver Pied offspring. The Pied males came from different sources and I doubt both were out of Silver Pied parents, that leads me to believe the "Silver" affect can be passed by one parent.

Original pair



Their son



Their daughter

If these males were carrying w/e then they could produce some silver birds, but i was referring to pied birds without w/e genes, but anyway your males could be out of silver pied male or hen, or maybe their parents were out of silver pied mating.

It is of course possible that both males are out of SP parents, but I just thought it unlikely as they came from 2 different sources. And the only reason I even know they carry WE is because they produce SP offspring. Augeredin helped me figure that out. They really don't show the white eyes in their trains.

other doubt !
Can i assume that the adult peacock on the first two pics have 1 copie of white eye just because he has some white tail feathers? ( because i dont know nothing about his parents). Or common pied peacock can also have some white tail feathers and in that case only breeding that male with a silver pied i will find it out?

He is not necessary carrying w/e, a regular pied could have white feathers in his train without carrying w/e gene, i have a male 90% of his train is white but he isn't carrying any w/e gene.

Check the colored feathers on this male train, if you can see white dots in the feathers eyes, then he is w/e.

Thank you !

But what do you mean when saying that a peafowl have 1 copy of WE or 2 copies of WE? Whats the difference between?

One copy ► only a part of the feathers are white eyes.
Two copies ►almost all the feathers are white eyes.

There is NO split Silver pied because the Silver Pied pattern depend on more than one gene!

My question ....
In this case , Is there a split Pied ? ( ... Pied depend on 2 genes ! ).
