what would the outcome be? Oct 25, 2012 15:56:26 GMT

Hi everyone

I was thinking to pair up a grey cinnamon hen and a normal green spangle male.

I have been thinking about the possible outcomes and have concluded the following:

I know that grey is dominant. However, if the hen is not a double factor grey, I'm assuming there could be some normal green chicks, am I right that there could also be some blue babies if the male is split for blue?

statistically 50%?? would be spangle and I have no idea how to work out the cinnamon!!

I know that without knowing the full genetics of the pair its guess work, but am I on the right track with my ideas?

Thanks

You are right about both points here.
