    I think I said many a time I'm quite useless in the genetic coloring department so can't help you on that
    However if you are planning on breeding them it is very advisable not to house them togather, they are very territorial especially in the breeding season!
    They will destry each others nests and eggs and throw chicks from each others nests and possible fatalitys of birds from different pairs to the dominant pair,
    The dominant pair will not allow the others to breed anywhere near their capabilities and by keeping them separate you will increase the breeding results from each pair..

    I would personally keep them each in 3 ft wide by 6 ft lng by 6 or 7 ft high flights per pair... so in total 9ft wide 6 ft long and 7 high, smaller than what you were origionally going to use but you can use the extra space for cages to separate cock from hens and young from adults...

    Good luck to you
    Will ask my friend about the genetics side of it maybe they can advise on coloring potential
