Will breeding a fawn with a CWF

Make the babies of the CWF's brownish colored and lose the white?

I have 4 that I put in a cage to "pick" their mate and they are fighting like Mike Tyson.

I'm beat!

you need to tell us the mutations of the males and what the females are...who are the fawns and who are the cfw. Fawn is a se linked gene and the males carry it and females do not, they also can not be split to it.

So if the males are fawns or split to fawns it will influence the look of the offspring.

I have a male normal grey split fawn and cfw.
I breed him with fawn pied female
and got cfw fawn females.
I also got pure fawns from him and from grey pied isabel female.
Very cute.

Like Cindy said, we need genders and genetics. I currently have a fawn hen paird with a fawn split male, and a cfw/bc hen with a ng pied male, I'm planning on breed a pair, one offspring from each pair together.
