I have been trying to find out about double factor pieds. I know that you get all single factor pieds when bread to normals.

 

I want to know can you tell they are double factor without breeding?..

 

thanks guys..

 

And if so what do you think this guy is..

well first I would say gal

 

i think it is dominant, has the same patches as Ringo and I can see a ring on her in the picture.

Thanks nerwen, He has testical cancer thats why his cere is brown. I know he is a dominant but want to know if he is a double factor dominant?

Does anyone know??... nerwen, Pass and rainbow help...please..ANYONE!

That I don't know my self sorry I can't help.

 

Poor guy

Don't feel sorry for him nerwen, I am happy he is enjoying life! He is a great Daddy and loves his mate..

i thought double factor pieds had all the characteristics of a recessive pied (orange beak, pinkish/purple cere instead of blue, few markings) but they also have an iris ring, which makes them dominant double factor pieds?

 

thats how i understood it... if this is right then i think casper could be a double factor dominant pied.

 

sorry if i got it wrong and confused you more

I think Pixie is right- double factor recessive pieds have an iris ring.

Hi daz, there is no treatment at some point I will have to have him put painlessly to sleep but for now he is enjoying life..

theres a picture of him on my profile i think he looks like your yellow, but he is a white and sky blue version.
