Ive been watching the Grey Pieds we picked up last week and the boy is feeding the girl which has me thinking ( scary ) if I was to keep a baby from the next clutch which should be a grey pied what mutation could I pair him/her up with to have some fun with ?

Should I keep a male or female or keep the one whos colour I like the best ?

Cannot get my head around genetics so please keep it simple lol.

Also what is the dominant feature here , the colour or the pied markings ?

Thanx folks.

Genetics is so difficult!
I got a lutino hen out of a pair where one of the parents come from Lime male and opaline female and the other parent came from blue male and albino female. Just cannot figure this out lol.
