Pretty baby. Are they all (your young pieds) from the same family? Or do you have more than one family producing pied?

hEllo all it's been a while since talking about my pieds, was lucky to breed a few very good pieds last season, decide to put my be st pieds to normal hens to get some strong splits, Ty my amazement I got my first nest fledgling and the 2 youngsters are both very heavy pieds, so this makes them dominant pieds, birds have molted and haven't lost any of there colouring what's everyone's thoughts all the best regards marty

Thats an easy mutation being dominant or is it sexlinked dominant,have you tried putting a heavy pied hen to a normal cock? Craig

That's a shame Marty but are those two coloured young hens?, the main thing is you bred new blood into them. Cheers Craig
