Dante if the mom was a normal all the young would be
100% Normal/Black cheeked

Mom is split to BC since they produced a full BC.

Sam...your first clutch is full BC....they will not produce another color (your original question at the top of the thred) but you can use the offspring to make different mutations in combination with other mutations.

I have produced a few female chicks and the one has Black cheeks and the other has more like the black bar on her face is smeared, I have a chick getting ready to fledge and I belief Its male because his cheeks are really black like the males and I don't remember the cheeks being so noticeable when they fledged before. Just wondering if there are other possible colors they can produce. :mrgreen:

If she were full BC, she would have black cheeks. If she is split, she may have feathering, or just a thicker tear mark than a non-BC hen. Do you have a picture you could post of her?

She sounds like she may be split to BC but a picture would help.
