With regards to your question Sam - I dont try to breed for colour i like the lottery i seem to have been getting by just pairing as i would normally do.

 

My favourite grizzle cock (which is dark grizzle) has thrown a Cheq and another grizzle??

You will have to pair him to a black (spread blue) to breed black grizzles, they will produce approximately 50% grizzle and 50% non-grizzle.    The percentage of blacks bred will depend on the genotype of the black; if it is homozygous (pure) for black/spread, all the young will be black or black grizzle, if the black is heterozygous (impure) for black/spread then the colour of the youngsters will be determined by the patterns (bar, chequer) masked by the black.

what like these?

 

These are what I call Dark Grizzles.  :)  I've 2; the cock's parents are Dark Chequer C x Blue Grizzle H; and the dark grizzle cock when paired with BBH threw a dark grizzle hen much like those in your pic, but has no white bits around face and neck.
