That's a loaded question....
If you are JUST talking about Pied x Pied (no morph involved), it is quite random..... 20% to 80% white.
Some Pied morphs bring more white to the table genetically..... like Spieds, Lesser Pieds and Black Pastel Pieds.
The 1.0 Black Pastel Pied all the way to the right in the group shot has the most pattern (less white) out of 5 we have produced this year and he is still ~75% white.
We really like the 0.1 Pied. She will probably be the only holdback from this season from all our Pieds. Nice and bright and about 40%-50% white.
We'd like to hold back a 1.0 Black Pastel Pied, but our 1.0 Black Pastel 100% Het Pied has earned his keep here forever (produced 6 Pieds out of 12 eggs he sired this season- and 5 eggs were to a 100% Het Pied. Het x Het and no Normals). He was tough to get eating as a baby.... random pups and crawlers. We put him on ASF's and mice and he'll take either still. No ASF's on hand yesterday and he took 2 mice for giving us this clutch!! He hangs at ~1000g all year long. Not to brag, but he is probably the nicest 100% Het you will find. Nice tail ringer ;)

Here is his first 5 egg clutch of the season to the 100% Het Pied:

Re: Freshly hatched Pieds!!
Couldn't you have just said you produced 1.2 black pastel pieds and 0.1 pied?
