Good morning all, can someone do a write up on mutations. Please use the kiss system when writing for us lay people. I am confused on the difference in the pied ones. As in how to tell.

What is the kiss system? My birds Snowy and Piper are examples of pied mutation. One is recessive pied and the other is dominant pied. I never can remember which! the difference is the band of color in the front and whether it's on the top or the bottom of the chest.

I love it!! Keep It Simple, Silly. The KISS system. I'm gonna have to remember that. I also have two examples of pied babies. Clausy is pied and Mistletoe is pied. They both have quite a bit of that undercoat yellow showing through. Someone doing a knowledgable write up on "mutations for dummies" is a fantastic idea. I'd like to learn more about that myself.

I would love to do this, particularly in concert with some others who might like to contribute. Life is unfortunately busy and crazy, but I will do my best to set aside some time.

Snowys the rec. Pipers the dominate. dom have a band across the bellies So, if the dominant have the band across the belly, wouldn't this make Snowy the dominant? (He has the blue band across his belly)

(He has the blue band across his belly) A band across as like your bird is green so it would be green yellow in the middle then green as to recessives it would be just the bottom half that has color so if you had a rec pied that was green it would be only green then yellow on the bottom no green after that.

Diana, the way I understand it, the "band" is actually the white or yellow part, not the "colored" green or blue part. Somebody please speak up if I said this incorrectly.
