Normal gene + pied gene = het pied
Pastel gene + pied gene = pastel het pied

Are you more confused now?

So if you took say a male and a female that came from the same clutch and both were pastel and you bred them....Would it be possible to produce a pastel with pied markings as well????

Yes, you'd produce pastel pieds, or possibly even a super pastel pied.

Here's a pastel pied from Daytona:

And from the same breeder's website:

Now that I know it is possible to incorporate a co dom with a recessive. So is it possible to incorporate two recessive traits into the same animal, say hypomelanism and pied????

or a lavender albino pied!!

As long as two traits are controlled by seperate genes, then it's possible to combine them to produce designer morphs.
