This may seem like a dumb question, but I've very little knowledge on chicken genetics. Since EEs do not breed true, will I still have better chances of getting mostly dark patterned chicks by breeding my red EE cock to my black, gold-flecked EE hen rather than a wheaten or grey EE hen? I do not like to keep majority-white coloured birds due to them being easy pickings for the hawks and eagles.
Here's a picture of the hen as a pullet (she looks basically the same, just bigger) and the cock (with his cute muffs all pecked out).
