Question regarding the ID of the female in the top pic...all white with teardrop...her tail has the same light barring as the CFW male.....is she a CFW ?......Mom is in the bottom pic , Dad was a normal Grey. Any ideas as to what the results would be if I was to pair her up with the CFW male or a normal grey male ?

She does look like a CFW from the pictures.
I thi if you breed her with a grey male, you would get normal grey males, split for CFW, and normal grey females. If the grey male is split for CFW, you could get normal grey males and females, and CFW males and females.
If you breed her with a CFW male, I believe all chicks would be CFW as well.

I use that calculator often...it give you an idea about what you may get and whether your pairing will get your your desired result.
