Pied

I'm talking to someone who wants to sell a 5 month old male pied for $1500. Sounds kinda high to me, I'd like some opinions thanks.

Pieds are generally priced according to the amount of white. That is not a high price at all. I remember not too long ago they were many thousands of $

Well I don't live in USA but I would say that sounds pretty much right on the money...

Pieds were going for $1500 at the NARBC show a month ago...so that's a good price...

anyone know what you would get if you bred a pied with a pinstripe? This pied does have alot of white

All of the offspring would be het for Pied (normal looking but they have the gene for piebald) and in addition each egg would have a 50% chance of producing Pinstripes.

So in an ideal world you would get 50% normal looking het pieds and 50% pinstripe het pieds.

1500 is a good price, most start there and go up in price.

That's a decent price for a well started one. They can be found cheaper if your willing to look and are not afraid to make people an offer, but $1500 is definitely not out of line.

I wish they'd be that cheap over here in Germany... with the current exchange rates '08 pieds are $3000.

That pie looks pretty high white to me. I’d say do it!
