jimfmcdonald Aug 15, 2004 11:34 PM

Do albino to albino or pied to pieds produce all albino and all pied babies ?? if so why have I never seen a picture on here? or have I just missed them? can someone show some pics. I would really like to see a full clutch of pieds ! if there are any? thanks.

I know albino to albino produces all albinos. go look at ralph davis's site on page 8(I think) of the birthing page. He breed albino to granite albino.

as to pied to pied I have no idea.

Albino x Albino = All Albino babies, and Pied x Pied = All Pied Babies. Typically people will breed Albino males to Het females and save there females for double het projects or co-dom projects. There are sometimes straight crosses, but when it is easier to cross your morph male with your het female and produce partial 100% het and morph babies, this is what is normally done.

According to Peter Kahl's web site the very first clutch that proved piebald genetic was pied X pied. However, that is the only case of a pied female producing eggs that I've found documentation of (and no pics). There probably aren't a ton of pied females old and big enough to lay eggs yet (looks like there where only about 18 pieds known to exist before the 1999 season) and the few that are out there are probably owned by established breeders who don't bother to post much.

I have a pied female who will be breeding with a het pied male next season and will be happy to post pictures when they are available.
I know that a guy bought female and male pieds last year from a friend of mine and he'll probably be breeding them next season, too.
I'm sure pictures will come out eventually. As for pics now, I would got to Ralph Davis' site. He has more pictures and genetics info than any other site out there.
Good Luck!
