Posted June 23, 200817 yr okay, Is there a such thing as a dom pied TCB? I am 85% Sure that I have one that just fledged? I will be taking a photo today and will post it ...
June 23, 200817 yr Yes it certainly is possible Neat, the problem is if it has White flight feathers it’s difficult to tell if it’s a TCB. You would only be able to tell from the colour of its breast & that can vary. A photo would be good.
June 23, 200817 yr I have a pied TCB. Actually, the fact that she is pied is the reason I got her from the breeder, cause she cant be shown under TCB class with another mutation. She is a VERY pretty bird, I personally think she is prettier than the other TCB hen I have. I am not sure if she is dom pied or recessive though.........I just know that cause her flights are clear she is pied. Here are a couple of pics. While we're on the topic can any of the experts out there tell me what I might need to breed more like her?
June 23, 200817 yr Author okay, so here is my baby No2 I am sure she is a Green Opaline Dom Pied TCB .... ( personally I think she is UGLY!!!!! lol )
June 24, 200817 yr I'm certainly no expert, but I was under the impression that Dom Pieds had a V shape on their backs? Or is that not the case with all Dom Pieds?
June 24, 200817 yr Author Nope no red eyes ... That is due to the flash ....... These eyes are black mate ...... Opalines ( good marked ones ) have the V lucy ......
June 24, 200817 yr You wont see red eyes on a recessive chick Neat. If you look really hard you may see plum, but I am positive your baby is a recessive pied.
June 24, 200817 yr Agree also with the Pied. It could also be one of the badly marked Dom pieds. I have one who's not got clearflights even though all it's brothers and sisters have aswell as it's mum.
June 24, 200817 yr I agree with Kaz & Liv, Neat it’s not a TCB…it’s a Recessive Pied…can’t see any Opaline in it either, could have Yellow Face2 Blue, what were it’s parents?
June 24, 200817 yr Author Sorry meant plum eyes not red ...lol okay Dad is a English Cobalt dom pied ( only has the little dot on the back of head )cock Mym is a Green series TCB
June 24, 200817 yr Sorry meant plum eyes not red ...lolokay Dad is a English Cobalt dom pied ( only has the little dot on the back of head )cock Mym is a Green series TCB Photo of Dad ? Small spot means split to recessive Neat. Mum is also split blue Edited June 24, 200817 yr by KAZ

While we're on the topic can any of the experts out there tell me what I might need to breed more like her? You could try it with an Albion cock, but to get Opalines like it, it would have to be masking or split Opaline. Like Kaz says Neat the small spot is most likely Recessive & the TCB must be split Recessive also Edited June 24, 200817 yr by Norm
June 25, 200817 yr there is no reduced clour in the flight feathers that have black on them (which is what is aimed for in TCB) a picture of dad will help as this one does look like a recessive pied. but I was under the impression that Dom Pieds had a V shape on their backs? This is a sign of Opalines not Dom pieds.
June 25, 200817 yr One of the main ways to identify a Texas clearbody is to see whether it has a clear body. That baby doesn't. It is a recessive pied, with some sort of dark factor
