I don't know what any of that was, but I'm giggling anyway.

A dark over light breeding should produce birds like this.


A dark over buff should produce pullets that look like the female above, but cockerels will be split gold/silver as bumpercar stated. which will likely look like the male above with brassy yellowish hackle and saddle feathers.

I found this picture on the web, this looks to be a light/buff cross split silver/gold. Now your cross males from the buff hens will be similarly colored, with the addition of residual penciling.

I'm kind of confused here. The patterns are about what I would expect from that combination, but the colors are not.

Being a light x dark cross the male would be silver based and when bred to a buff hen should have produced silver pullets and split silver/gold males. Yet your hens are buff and your males look to be pure silver.

Actually I take that back, some of your hens are patterned about what I would expect from that cross, while some of your hens, and your males look to be a clean/pure columbian pattern.
