Aloha Rooster over Golden Spangled Hamburg hen

[MissLavender]

What colors would one expect to get from a mille fleur Aloha cock over a Golden Spangled Hamburg hen? I have a 3 week old chick from that cross who appears to be showing some mottling but the feathers are so tiny still that I'm not sure yet!

I'm not sure how a thumbnail image of my Mosaic cockerel ended up in here...lol. Just ignore that!

One, the mosaic rooster is gorgeous.
Two, never bred birds before and I only know about colour genes in canaries.
And three, I reckon you’ll get a golden speckled chicken. If that even is a thing, like I said I have no clue how colour genes are with chickens but I’m sure the chick will look awesome no matter what.

So far this chick looks partridge with white feather tips, but I'm not sure yet.

Anyone with some knowledge of genetics willing to put in their two cents? I'd love to hear your input.

Mottling is recessive, so won't show up in the first generation. However, your chick will carry mottling, so if bred to a mottled bird will give you 50% mottled offspring.

Most chicks will have some partridging in their feathers, its baby camouflage, and should molt away later.

She's an adult hen now and looks like this: she's the little partridge hen next to the BC Marans cockerel.

Pretty pullet!!
