Rite so if I was to put two red head split to yellow there would be yellows.

You would get yellows, normal red heads and red heads split to yellow head.

Hi Tigerfan,

Two Red head split to yellow will give you on average: 25% Yellow head
50% Red split Yellow head
25% Red head.

Your red-headed cock may already be split to yellow (&/or black for that matter). This would obviously complicate the expectations.
