Not really, or it may be hard to understand the way you explained it. I'm gonna use breeds instead of colors to maybe explain it better.

Say for instance you crossed a RIR roo and Barred Rock hens, this would be the parental or initial cross, their offspring would be the F1s

Parental Cross = RIR X BRs
F1s = Their first generation chicks
F1 X F1 = F2

and so on

OK, so in my example
Blue, Red, and Yellow are all Generation "P" for Parental?
Green and Purple are F1s?
Brown and Bruise are F2s?

What if you mate an F1 back to a Parent? What would that be?
