Just as well you don't live near misso then

yeh its a great photo, just wish it had been a little clearer, so Im guessing the black head is a hen. What about the red head?

yep both hens

Thanks guys thats what i wanted to here.

I agree too both are Hens.

Any idea of what mutation they are?and what I will get if I pair them with these two cocks.

The BH looks like a normal. Although I can see a blue tinge to his wing. That might be the pic.
The RH seems to be a SFYB
Assuming no unseen head colour splits in any of the birds and pairing BH to BH and RH to RH you would get

BH PC/w GB

and
R/b PC/w SFYB cocks (just like Dad)
R/b PC/w GB cocks
BH PC/w Yellow hens
BH PC/w GB hens
