Pied IRN

Post by Nancy MD »

Hello everyone new to the board. I am in search of either a Dominant Pied IRN or a Recessive Pied (Hen if possiable). Also Prefer Blue Or Turquoise. I have purchase a Pair from a breeder that I was told split to pied and Blue. 1st Clutch no pied and to my Suprise I got a Albino. I know I may not get a pied in every clutch but somthing tells me I was screwed. PLease if you know someone who I can trust past my email on. Thanks Nancy

With two birds that are split for recessive pied only one in four babies on average will be visually pied. It's certainly possible that the probabilities just didn't work out with this clutch.

If you got an albino, your birds are definitely both split for blue and your male is split for ino as well. In fact, an albino is actually much less likely from that pairing than a pied (6.25% vs. 25%).

How many babies were in the clutch in total?
