Pair fawn cocks to penguin hens

Then pair young males to full penguins

Or pair the normal split male chicks to the fawn hen chicks the following season

Gives you 25% chance of producing full fawn penguins in either sexe

Thanks for that Dave, when you say  "young males" will that be any young male that is produced from the original pairing,

What would the results be from pairing a penguin cock to a fawn hen.

Yeah young cocks from original pair

Penguin x fawn =

Normal split fawn & penguin cocks

Normal hens split penguin

 

Sorry to be a pain Dave,  will the penguin cocks from the above pairing be split fawn, ifso could I then pair back to a fawn hen to produce fawn penguin.

No

The cocks from the pairing will only be carriers

I'd pair a cock to a penguin hen

Gives you chance to produce fawn penguin

I will be trying to produce fawn penguin cock birds over the next few years I have about 15 fawn penguin hens all ready to start, I am aiming to purchase some normal exhibition size fawn cocks to pair with these fawn penguin hens, the following year I will pair the offspring males back to pure Fawn penguin hens I should then with luck breed some fawn penguin cock birds.

Will keep you updated on the results.
