Updates on some Pied Combo's

vary nice pieds, nothing like them

What are the odds of getting a coconut spied? Is it really rare? Anyone know the odds? I just purchased a spied male and will breeding him shortly to my poss het pied female.

I should get (if she proves out) 25% het pied, 25% spider/het pied, 25% pied, 25% spied.. So out of the 25% chance spied, I get a coconut pied should I consider my self extremely lucky? Or is it something like 1 in 4 spieds are coconut spieds??

I would guess it is polygenetic but it seems to happen quite a bit, I've probably seen 1 all white spied for every 2 with color, but thats just based off of pictures online and what I see at shows.

Thanks for the input! Yeah I was kind of thinking it might be a polygenic trait that shows up. I'm hopeing one will show up in my future clutch!

Wow those are some beautiful pieds!! :D
