What sex are all the birds with brown bibs, hens or both sexes?
I think a few would agree with what's been shared here there is more that one thing happening amongst these birds and it's up to you which way(s) you want to direct it and might involve selecting certain offspring and and cultivating this mutation so that such results will be consistently reproduced inline with known inheritance modes.
Now that these birds are popping up in Western Australia as well the gene pool will be a little more broader so I'm sure the people here will be willing to assist where possible if required.
Keep the updated and pics coming...

The bib is brown,as far as i know in cinnamons the bib has to be brown as this is one of the forms of identification,garyh
My knowledge of Gouldian genetics is strictly moderate, so am basing my questions on budgie genetics as have spent my life round a show budgie breeder. And quail genetics which I am slowly working out myself as Aussies do not seem to have the interest in this that Yanks do. Cinnamon and brown are different in both of those, as they are in Zebs (Red and fawn).
Cinnamon being sex linked you would know. But if they were red/fallow they would be recessive, again you would know. I do not know what you have here but am very interested.
And delighted for you.
