Great to see you are having some luck/success in breeding this new/re-discovered mutation.

back in the eighties we recieved regular consignments of pink emblemas each year from a breeder in ringwood victoria and resold to adealer in sydney as many as we could get at $150 each. they were always cocks and came from a colony of emblemas in alarge mixed aviary .they were fed large amounts of seeding grasses from a vacant block next door .after several years the council moved in and sprayed the grass and then a new house was erected and the emblema colony stopped breeding the parents were never actually identified.cheers michael
i would suggest that the pink emblemas are certainly recessive as i had not previousely seen a hen and from the photos posted they are obviousely cinnamon. cheers michael

Combining the information from the various sources on this thread it would seem most likely that this bird is a cinnamon sex linked recessive. Look forward to hearing how the breeding program goes. Good luck in re establishing this mutation.

Finally, after 12 hens the original pair of split fawns have produced a cock bird and it is fawn. Will get some pictures and post them over the weekend. Should confirm that thew mutation is autosominal reccesive. Also the first fawn hen (outcrosssed to an unrelated normal red) has produced her first youngsters.
