Many combination pieds are often incorrectly identified as recessive pied or double factor dominant pied
The bird at the bottom of this family tree picture is a typical combination of dominant and recessive pieds. The points that identify her as a dominant pied are completely clear primary flight and tail feathers and the markings that she has are where a dominant pied would be marked. The splash of body colour high on the chest area is a bonus indicator. Her recessive pied features are very few markings and the base colour showing low on the body. Recessive & dominant pied combinations are unlikely to develop iris rings. Male combinations usually have pink ceres.
Her father is a sky blue dominant pied that is split for recessive pied. He was bred from a male cobalt split for recessive pied and a female sky blue dominant pied.
The combination pied's mother is a T2 yellow face cobalt recessive pied. Her parents were a male yellow face cobalt split for recessive pied and a female opaline recessive pied
The pair produced the 5 chicks pictured in the 2nd family tree picture. The expected outcome from this pair would be 25% dominant pied, 25% recessive pied, 25% normal & 25% combination pied
The combination pied hen is now mature and her first two clutches are shown in the next two family tree pictures.
Her first mate was a recessive pied. Their chicks were 4 recessive pieds and 2 combination pieds. (The expected result would be half recessive pied and half combination pied)
Her second mate was a yellow face opaline spangle split for recessive pied. Their chicks were; a spangle recessive pied,an opaline dominant pied, a spangle, an opaline combination recessive & dominant pied spangle, a yf normal and an opaline recessive pied. (Not considering the yellowface the expected result would be 6.25% each of spangle (m), normal (m),recessive pied spangle (m), recessive pied (m), dominant pied spangle (m),dominant pied (m), dominant pied recessive pied spangle (m), dominant pied recessive pied (m), opaline spangle (f), opaline (f), opaline recessive piedspangle (f), opaline recessive pied (f), opaline dominant pied spangle (f),opaline dominant pied (f), opaline dominant pied recessive pied spangle (f),opaline dominant pied recessive pied (f)

. Is my sky a dominant pied?? (i thought she was but im not sure now lol
