Pied
There are two types of true mutation pied, dominant pied & recessive pied. The dominant pied is the most common one as it increases more rapidly than the recessive pied.
Only by test pairing a pied bird to a normal, can you confirm what type of pied it is. NOTE: Some birds can show a false pied feathering appearance due to old age or being kept in poor conditions, diet etc. When conditions are improved they most likely will moult out any pied markings.
Below are the mating expectations of both types of pied;
DOMINANT: (sf)=single factor (df)=double factor
1.Dominant Pied (sf) × Normal = 50% Dominant Pied (sf),
50% normal
2.Dominant Pied (df) × Normal = 100% Dominant Pied (sf)
3.Dominant Pied (sf) × Dominant Pied (sf) = 25% normal,
50% Dominant Pied (sf), 25% Dominant Pied (df)
4.Dominant Pied (sf) × Dominant Pied (df) = 50% Dominant Pied (sf),
50% Dominant Pied (df)
5.Dominant Pied (df) × Dominant Pied (df) = 100% Dominant Pied (df)
************************
RECESSIVE: (/=split)
1.Recessive Pied × Normal = 100% Normal/Recessive Pied
2.Recessive Pied × Normal/Recessive Pied = 50% Normal/Recessive-
Pied, 50% Recessive Pied
3.Recessive Pied × Recessive Pied = 100% Recessive Pied
4.Normal/Recessive Pied × Normal/Recessive Pied = 25% Recessive-
Pied, 50% Normal/Recessive Pied, 25% Normal
5.Normal/Recessive Pied × Normal = 50% Normal/Recessive Pied,
50% Normal
