Mother has a flecked head and spangle spots so you can pretty much see the cin markings, father has no cinnamon in his history so in reality the baby cant be: just looked like it when it was born, very purply!! I do understand how the gene works thats what confused me when it was born.

I read where show people say you shouldn’t breed Cinnamon into Spangles, as I don’t think they have a class for Cinnamon Spangles. But I have just got my first Cinnamon Spangles & one has nice dark Cinnamon markings & the other has only a couple of Cinnamon feathers & the rest of the wing is clear. I was going to breed Cinnamon into some of my Spangles to see what it looked like, but it happened by surprise.

 

I mated a nice Grey Green Cock split for Cinnamon to Lutino hen, bred from a Spangle Cock & Opaline hen. I wanted to get some better Normal split Lutino Cocks to mate with some smaller Lutino hens I had, well the surprise I got was the Lutino must be masking Spangle. I thought I would get some Split Lutino cocks, some normal hens & Cinnamon hens, but got so far one Normal Grey Green cock/Lutino, one Cinnamon Blue hen & two Cinnamon Spangles Green hens. I never thought she would be masking Spangle, but from her breeding I should have suspected.

They dont have a class for cinnamon spangles Norm, but I entered a cinnamon spangle and she took out best spangle at the show and won me best novice. She was shown in the spangle class, and although cinnamon isnt seen as more desirable she won over any other spangle in her class.

I have cinnamon spangles in my breeding program

Yes I realise that's what you would have to do Kaz & if the bird is superior to the others it can still win.
