Uh, I am in Awe, they are so lovely...beautiful, in fact. Not gunna lie, I'm a little jealous. I have a (just regular) CFW hen, and I bred her with what I thought was a NG male, apparently not, he was split to fawn, so instead of CFW I got fawn babies!!! Go figure right? I was REALLY hoping for a CFW Male, but so be it... they are just the picture of BEAUTY, wonderful job cindy

CFW is sex linked, only the males carry it. Hens are just visual and can only give normal split to cfw male offspring. To get full visual CFW offspring of both sexes the CFW hen needs to be paired with a split to CFW male or a visual CFW male. In your case the father was split to fawn (another sex linked gene) and gave you a fawn female offspring.
