Bangersanmash 3,347 Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 If you put a split pied bird to another split pied will you get a chance of getting a full pied bird from the round of eggs. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 10,995 Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Yes i would say so as it'd work with the other colours,but i'm sure it's the cock that throws the colours more so than the hens as that's why folks use split cocks or other wise they'd just be normals from a coloured mother as such.Feck i need to get back into this hobby as i'm forgetting all that stuff it took me years to learn .. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bangersanmash 3,347 Posted September 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 A don't think you can put a split to a normal can you ? They've both got to have pied in them don't they ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,543 Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 You can put a split to a normal but you'll only get normals. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,543 Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 I'm not completely sure but I think if you use a mutation cock you'll get mutation hens and vice versa and the normal colour chicks will be splits. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thinking about it yeah I don't think you get split hens? I'm sure you see people selling mutation to split pied pairs though?

fireman 10,995 Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) I do think you can buy slip pairs but i am sure you can only get colours from the split cock,all chicks from a split hen to a normal cock will be normals but not 100% if any cocks from such a pairing would be split. You will have more of a chance of full coloureds from a split pair but again i am sure it's cocks that forward the colours and that is in general..I'll have a ask of a old boy that will know and get back to you..
