Your bird is showing 4 dominant mutations and a sex linked one. He is a yellow face cobalt grey opaline spangle dominant pied. The yellow face, pied, spangle and grey will each show up in about 50% of the chicks and the opaline will show in the females. To get them all to appear on the same bird would be easier if they were separate so the outcome could be planned rather than left to chance. The odds of getting a chick the same as him would be shortened by mating him to a yellow face blue or grey opaline hen.
