thanks

With the violet hens parents both being violet, there is a possibiity that she could be a double factoe violet, if this is so then you will get the following results

  1.0 blue cinnamon
x 0.1 blue violet(df)
% from all 1.0
100.0% 1.0 blue violet(sf) /cinnamon
% from all 0.1
100.0% 0.1 blue violet(sf) cinnamon

All males will be violet split cinnamon and females will be violet cinnamon, only the chicks will tell you if the mother is a single factor or double factor violet

Thanks

if the hen is a double factor you should be able to tell by looking at her she would be a darker shade of violet compared to a single factor it's very easy to tell the difference between the two

thank you all to respond....

If that is a SF violet, it is a very good specimen violet.

how to know if she is double factor? or which one color Male will be give me a stunning babies?
as my Rio Cinnamon blue is too young and she is too.... and I wanna make have nice pair to them boths..maybe to only one of them...
P.S. tomorrow will make some upload of pictures of my violet girl...

You can tell if a bird is DF violet by comparing him/her to his/her parents (both were violet), and more easily by comparing the bird with the other violet chicks in the nest. If the bird is a darker violet than the other chicks, it is a DF. If this isn't possible to do, then you can test breed them in a variety of ways. Simplest way is to pair with a blue series bird that doesn't carry violet. If all chicks are violet (you'll need quite a lot to give a good confidence), the parent is DF violet. If 50% birds don't carry violet, it is a SF.

Either way, it is a good looking bird! IF it is actually a SF violet, and IF you manage your breeding program in such a way to eventually breed DF from this line, you will be rewarded with some of the deepest pure violets (only violet, no dark factors) possible. Two big IFs there, mind you.
