I'm planning to breed a spangled throw back pair that I raised this year so I'm wondering will it set them spangled because like I said they are throw backs and spangled and they dont ever come spangled. They guy I got them from said a spangled Albany was used years ago to freshing the lacey blood line and all these years later i end up getting a spangled stag and a spangled pullet. Just curious what are your thoughts.

Make your own thread with this question, it will get answered sooner.

I have a pair of half roundhead half leiper that are throwbacks from the spangled roundheads that the roundhead side was originally created from. So the roundhead cock and the leiper hen were both and still are excellent birds so my question is should I breed the throw backs together and set them as family and do you think the offspring will be spangled like them?

You could certainly try it and see. If they don't look the way you want, they would still make tasty fried chicken or chicken soup.

There are several different patterns called "spangled" in different breeds of chickens. Some of them would produce 100% spangled chicks, some would produce both spangled and not-spangled, and I don't know which set of genes your birds have. But you are likely to get at least some spangled chicks, no matter which set of genes is causing your spangling.
