Silver purple pied ?

[guineaguy]

So I have genetics question if this is truly a silver purple pied peacock and he is bred to this purple pied hen ill get purples and purple pieds as well as IB and IB pieds but can I get white eyes ? Since he shows so much white in his train?

I am sorry to say that I know nothing of peacock genetics and can't answer your question, but I just had to say that that is the most gorgeous peacock I have ever seen.

Your purple silverpied male got two copies of w/e gene and he will pass on one copy to each of his chicks- meaning a few white eyes in the tail feathers but not all. If the purple pied hen is carrying one copy of w/e gene ( hopefully) then 50 % of chicks only will get one copy of w/e gene. A silver pied peafowl carrys, One white gene, one pied gene and two copies of w/e gene.It is possible that you may get purple darkpied female chicks with two copies of w/e gene. You will get white, Purple pied with one copy of w/e gene males, Purple silverpied males and Purple split white females with one or two copies of w/e gene.You will not get any IB looking chicks since both parents are purple.Purple parents produce only purple chicks.

Thank you I appreciate it when you answer cause I get it once you've explained it. What happens with a bronze hen?

A purple silverpied male x Bronze hen = !) Indiablue looking males split for purple, split bronze, split white, 2) Indiablue looking males split purple , split bronze, split pied, 3) purple females split bronze, split white, 4) Purple females split bronze split pied, All the chicks carry one copy of w/e gene also.

That is a beautiful pair of peafowl for sure! I hope you get some good peachicks from them.

Looks like a purple to me
Right now their colors will be a bit faded, i am going on the looks of my cameo, she is washed out looking compared to her perty camo self
