You would get lutinos but you would not get any whiteface if the male is not split for whiteface. Here's what you'd get, if you have the genetics correct...
Mother:Whiteface Lutino
Father:Pied Pearl Split To {X2: Lutino}
male offspring:
50% Grey Split To Pied Whiteface {X1: Pearl} {X2: Lutino}
50% Lutino Split To Pied Whiteface {X1: Pearl}
female offspring:
50% Pearl Split To Pied Whiteface
50% Lutino Pearl Split To Pied Whiteface
Mother:Whiteface Lutino
Father:Pied Pearl Split To {X2: Lutino}
male offspring:
50% Grey Split To Pied Whiteface {X1: Pearl} {X2: Lutino}
50% Lutino Split To Pied Whiteface {X1: Pearl}
female offspring:
50% Pearl Split To Pied Whiteface
50% Lutino Pearl Split To Pied Whiteface

Thanks, I also have a Male Lutino split for pied if I bred him to my Albino what would I get? He is with a cinnamon pearl pied would it be possible to split them up? Also he bred with the cinnamon pearl pied and I didn't want to breed her right now, do I have to put a nesting box in there, will she get egg bound if I don't? Thanks for more info!

You'd get a bunch of lutinos.... so long as the male and female do not have any hidden mutations, split or otherwise....
Mother:Whiteface Lutino
Father:Lutino Split To Pied
male offspring:
50% Lutino Split To Pied Whiteface
50% Lutino Split To Whiteface
female offspring:
50% Lutino Split To Pied Whiteface
50% Lutino Split To Whiteface
If the other male and female were to reproduce, here would be your results...
Mother:Pied Cinnamon Pearl
Father:Lutino Split To Pied
male offspring:
50% Grey Split To Pied {X1: Lutino} {X2: Cinnamon Pearl}
50% Pied Split To {X1: Lutino} {X2: Cinnamon Pearl}
female offspring:
50% Lutino Split To Pied
50% Pied Lutino
It is possible to split up pairs, however, it may take months for them to accept a new mate. It depends on the individual birds.
As for the cinnamon pearl pied, if you don't want her to reproduce, don't encourage her... i.e. don't give her a nestbox, or nesting material. If she's going to lay an egg, she'll do it with or without a place to nest. Likewise, she'll lay an egg whether or not it's fertile, or whether or not she has a mate. However, birds can also mate for years without the hen EVER producing an egg.
