Thanks Tim. Will the chicks be black with only color on the faces or more chipmunky?

I have eggs in the incubator from the following crosses - Barnevelder Roo with Silver Penciled Rock hen and Silver Laced Wyandotte hen. The Barnevelder hens have stopped laying for the winter, so just checking out the young Roo for fertility. Will the chicks from the Wyandotte all have rose...
