Ok, so the lacing is more or less recessive? Like red hair in humans? If there's a good intro article/thread, let me know. I don't want to bug you with basic genetics questions. But most of what I found online so far either assumed I already new the basics and dropped me in the deep end or...

Nevermind, just found this that explains it in great detail...still not sure I get "why" lacing doesn't pass down to the females like barring (i.e. two cuckoo marans would produce cuckoo pullets), but this pretty definitively says that's what happens. So cool...

So the lacing on the dad won't pass to anyone? That's what I wasn't sure about/surprised me when I plugged "laced cockerel" and "cuckoo hen" into the genetics calculator.

So the males would be barred...the calculator showed the females as just plain black though. Is that right? Seems weird for laced + cuckoo to come out black.
