Males should be Red headed/Yellow headed Purple/White Yellow SF (Dilute) / split Blue

Females should be Red headed/Yellow headed Purple/White Greenback / split Blue

If the male has a hidden WB gene (making him PB/white) then half the babies will have white breasts.

All chicks will be RedHead split to YellowHead and PurpleBreast split to WhiteBreast.
Males will be Single Factor Pastel split to Blue, visually a lighter green body color.
All hens will be Green body split to Blue

Good luck!
