White Jersey Giant should be recessive white, with the other genes being the same as a Black Jersey Giant. So chicks should be black, carrying recessive white, mottling, and whatever set of genes make the Orpington be multi-colored instead of black all over. Chicks may have some leakage of other...

Recessive white will breed true. Dominant White can breed true (White Leghorns, generation after generation). But Dominant White does not always breed true (if each parent has one copy of the Dominant White gene, about 1/4 of chicks will have no copies of that gene, so they will show other...

For breeding the next generation of course it will matter which rooster you used, but for predicting the appearance of the first generation crossed chicks it makes almost no difference: chicks should either be white with black bits and some red/gold leakage (if the white is Dominant White), or a...

You might get white chicks with bits of black on them, or you might get chicks of some other color. I can't really predict what the other color might be, due to the genetics involved. More details, ignore if you are not interested: There are two main ways (genetically speaking) to make a white...
