Barred genetics

[Miriah132]

I have a Easter Egger over a barred rock and a Dominique hen. Since the females are the only ones with the barred genes, would the chicks with the white dots on their heads be males and the rest are females?

Yes, you are correct. So long as the EE has no barring genes

The ee looks like it might be dominant white, that would screw it up.

Wouldn’t dominat white be an all white bird?

I don’t believe he does, there’s no barring on him through his tail or through his hackles. I wish I could know his exact breeding. Would make things a lot easier! Lol

He isn't dominate white. Isn't white at all.
He is silver based and columbian.

Maybe and maybe not.
Dominate white doesn't effect gold, red buff etc.
And if only one copy lets black show in specks or splotches.
