Somehow I dont think its that simple. Add 100% Cinnamon hens and 100% split recessive to that pairing. Delete the 50% Cinnamons. Edited January 27, 2009 by Daz Link to comment

I didnt realise the chick was female. My next guess is: Dark green dominant pied to a cobalt recessive pied. 50% dark greens, 25% light greens and 25% olives.

Try again JB, as Daz said the DF Spangle would give each off spring a Spangle gene making them SF spangle so that leave that one out of the running. Link to comment

I was just thinking the spangle could be masking a couple of dark factors... but I should've focused on the df part I keep telling people my genetics is messed up! Link to comment
