how do I replicate my hen's feather colour in her offspring?

[EmmaRainboe]

even if her sons don't look like her/other colour? And then what do you think the chances would be to get a Wheaton pullet from that breeding?

Well if she has a son it would have to have the recessive gene and if you cross it back to her then the chicks have a chance of looking like her. (I know I probably over simplified but I'm pretty sure that is how it works)

So breed her to any rooster- then breed any of her sons back to her and 50 % of the chicks will be Wheaton????>>!!!

So breed her to any rooster- then breed any cockerels back to her?

That is the plan

That is the plan

Awesome!!!!! Thank you very much. Never would have figured that out.

Not at all sure this is true, but I found it to be with my birds.
Pick a recessive colored rooster if you can. Pick a white over a black, for example. That will give the chicks a better chance of being Wheaton / passing it onto the grand chicks.
Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong - not a gene expert.

You could breed her to a white rooster
