    I thought (maybe incorrectly) that as CFW is sex linked, that mating a CFW hen with a grey male would mean that any female offspring would be CFW.

     

    i think what sex link means if any cfw chicks that come from that pairing would be hens, not any hens would be cfw you could still get normal grey hens,

    i paired a black cheek cock bird with a cfw hen and 3 chicks  2 fawns and 1 normal grey

    Not a problem Lee & they're questions I would be asking too lol I've been told to breed a penguin cock to a exhibition NG hen x4 pairs(or more if you have the space) which would give you big ng/split then breed them back to penguins to give you the big birds?? No doubting the info I got(also @ Stafford) just want to make sure its right before I start the process!!

     

    i will let you no i have 2 pairs where i have used a nice size ng/penquin and a penquin which have chicks about to leave the nest

     

     gareth are you craig and carl's brother i had some fawn hecks of them
