OK, in the picture I see a White hen in the back and what I think is a Silver Pied hen behind her and the hen with her head in the center of the tire looks to be split to White. White is a recessive gene. Silver Pieds are Pieds that are 90% white and are homozygous to the White Eyed gene ( meaning the males have a splash of White in every ocelli of his train). A true Pied or Silver Pied carries one Pied or Silver Pied gene and one White gene, so all Pieds are co-dominant to White.

White bred to White = White
White bred to Blue split to White = 1/2 White and 1/2 split to White
White bred to Silver Pied = 1/2 White and 1/2 Silver Pied
White bred to Blue = Blue, all split to White

Pictured is a Silver Pied cock.
