Cameo Blackshoulder Silver Pied
 |
Type of mutation: Cameo Blackshoulder Silver Pieds combine the cameo color with the blackshoulder and silver pied patterns. Any colored feathers on the wing are solid brown, not white and brown barred. |
|
Peacock Coloration: Males are mostly white, with random patches of non-iridescent brown cameo coloration. The train is mostly white, with some brown colored eye feathers with white in their centers. |
|
Do they breed true?: No. The cameo color and blackshoulder patterns breed true, but the silver pied pattern does not. Chicks from a pure pair of cameo blackshoulder silver pieds will be approximately 25% white (but dominant for cameo and blackshoulder), 50% cameo blackshoulder silver pieds, and 25% cameo blackshoulder white eyeds. The cameo color remains sex linked, so breeding a male of this type to any hen will result in daughters that are cameo. |
