maybe this question is silly and answers itself, but i am going to ask anyways...
i have a pair of pied societies sitting of 5 eggs at the moment... will the offspring all be pied? i do not know the history of the parents unfortunatley, so i guess that becomes the wild card.
i figure someone here will have some insight into my odds and or chances... sorry if its a silly question... i'm very new to the genetics.

Re: pied bengalese
The one time I allowed my societies to breed, I paired a pied fawn to a self fawn and I got all pied babies - so I'm thinking the typical american pied is a dominant trait, but I could be wrong.

Re: pied bengalese
I've let me Societies breed a few times and of all their chicks (around 15 by now) only one is a true self. The rest are all pied to some degree.
