I’m not sure I’m posting in the right category to be honest. But I need somebody to school me on how specific coloring and color mutations pass down to offspring.
Specifically, can somebody explain to me what color chicks I would hatch if I bred my Isabel Cuckoo lavender Orpington rooster with a Lemon Cuckoo Neiderrheiner hen?

The buff that makes up the lemon can be hard to predict, but the lavender is recessive and will not be expressed in any of the resulting offspring soooo... I would expect the results would all be basic black barred like a barred rock or Dominique, but might have some buff or gold in the neck or something, but it could vary

so maybe something like these examples from the internet

From my observations, the second example is most likely.
