lol, i thought the cfw was a boy :)
cuz, he has all white head.
Should be a girl then, because dad must be split cfw.
Females cannot be split cfw.

Yes, CFW would be a hen. Interesting that you got a pair of BC with the clutch. Your odds are 1:4 of having a BC come from the pairing. They certainly are a fun pair of birds to put together, providing you with the multiple styles of chicks!
