Sorry i cant help here

Only thing i have had was a normal CFW cock paired with a fawn hen and they have produced mostly CFW hens and normal cock chicks until the last brood when they produced two fawn cock chicks and 2 normal cock chicks.

So I guess probably the same with your pair there's some other genes lurking in the background.

Hi,

     Both these genes are from the male, the white young still could be a FC as the cheek patches could be late colouring up.

 

Are both birds out of the nest ? and is this pair in an aviary or cage ?

 

Any chance of photo ?

The beaks of your "whites" is striking. They are no pure white and no 100% pied because they have no pink beaks. I think maybe they could be CFW fawn cheek and because of the CFW colour they could be lighter than FC ? I think the one in the background has cheek patches, am I right ? In any case they are expressing the fawn gene because both parents are fawns, their beak is also the same as a fawn baby beak.

Hi,

     Ok if you look in my gallery (Trevs Zebs) they are exactly the same as i bred, i paired up GC x CFW and these are the results.

 

White birds with a very faint GC, there's a pic of a male on top of a nest box he's from the same set up.

 

Look forward to your reply, to see if they are a match,
