Posted December 6, 200816 yr What chicks can I expect from a dom pied grey hen and a sky blue cock? Thanks
December 6, 200816 yr You can expect about half greys and half blues, about half dom pied and half normal. That's assuming no funky hidden genes :cake:

December 6, 200816 yr What chicks can I expect from a dom pied grey hen and a sky blue cock? Thanks Half dom Pied, half normal. As MB said this is the case unless there are some recessives - maybe sex-linked varieties such as opaline or cinnamon carried by the cock - or recessive factors carried by both hen and cock such as fallow, rec. pied, greywing etc. This latter would be a bit of a fluke, but it is possible. You could get all greys if the hen is double factor for grey. You could get cobalt if the grey is single factor and being carried on a cobalt or mauve bird - you might even get a violet! Best way is to see what pops out in the nest.
