Gorgeous!I couldn't get good photos of the girls...
Here is a picture of the beta cock, I think he is 2 years old. Someone keeps pecking his crest... I haven't seen it happen... so maybe at night.. he is my one golden spangled.
Hen on left is way too light Chamois, hen on right is nice.

Alpha cock. He is several years old, 4? (I lost my records this past fall) He is excellent, except he leans more towards lace than quality spangles. One of the reasons for beta. Beta has too many spangles, but good perfect spangles.

This morning my mind... well, the technical correct terms are not coming to mind... but the general broad brush strokes, with incorrect terms, is as follows:Beautiful!
How do the genetics work? You have a a Gold Spangled roo and a Chamois roo over Chamois hens and that gives you chicks of both colors?
Chamois have Dominant White (which changes black to white.)This morning my mind... well, the technical correct terms are not coming to mind... but the general broad brush strokes, with incorrect terms, is as follows:
The gold spangled acts as a recessive. So yes, you can run Golden Spangled and Chamois together in the same flock.
There are inhibitors at play to make the white spots on the Chamois. So, the Chamois has the genetics to have black spangles, but then other genes inhibit the black, and don't let it show up.
