It’s normal pied if it’s patchy grey and pink. (And seeing as the father is normal pied it gives you a high chance) anything patchy as a baby is pied. The other patchy grey and white you can get is a black face but none of your parents are black face.

Oh okay, I read it wrong. It doesn’t make any difference tho whether the mother or the father is normal pied.

Flight Feathers Ohright really the thing I’m confused about is that she only has a single white feather so it’s weird how much the chicks have came through with loads of white

a single white feather is considerate as pied (in Europe) , also from outcomes i could said your BC is split fro pied :mrgreen:

I find that whites and Pieds have pink beaks (with the pied it depends how much pied they have) And then ones like normal, fawn, and cfw etc have grey beaks.

Here you can see three Pieds/whites with pink beaks and then one fawn with a grey beak.
