blr crossed salmon and welsummer coloring- sexlinked?

[hoppy]

no wonder I'm so confused!

but am I right to think my welsummer hen crossed with my splash blr dottie will have blr chicks? not some other color?

Okay, so we're switching hens from salmon faverolle to welsummer?

What variety, or more specifically what genotype is your welsummer?

Have you tried using the chicken calculator to see the results of crossing?

I believe my welsummer is a partrage color (normal welsummer coloring). I did try the chicken calculator that's what caused all my confusion. it basicly said if I cross my favorelle or my welsummers with my splash blr, all the chicks will be blr- didn't sound right at all.
(actually the males of the favorelle will be blue patterned goldlaced)but hens are blr.
making me think it's either wrong or blr is dominate to most thing which I don't believe it could be or you'd see lot more blr.

Both partridge and laced (blue or otherwise) carry PgPg, so all offspring will inherit PgPg. Laced has MlMl Coco whereas partridge has mlml coco. That is assuming one variation of partridge (multiple laced, aka penciled); depending on the breed, the colour and associated genes differ

Anyways, rather than inheriting homozygous versions of Pg, Ml & Co, these will all be heterozygous: Pgpg Mlml Coco, which will have a huge impact on the quality of the pattern.

Check out http://www.edelras.nl/chickengenetics/mutations1.html

about halfway down the page you will find a table showing different combinations if these genes, and a bit below it is an example showing the variations resulting from Pg & Ml in various allele combinations.

thank you.

ok, chick has arrived and I don't know what breed it is.
dad is a splash blue laced red wyandotte, mom is either a samon favorelle or a blue laced red wyandotte.

as hatched, the chick had pale yellow fuzz and a pale gray cap, now that it is feathering, the chick is pure white with the occasional gray line in the feathering, like a short stripe not like lacing, 4 toes per foot, not feathered on legs but skin on legs is gray (my dotties have all yellow legs and so does the favorelle hen), no muffs or beard

not sure how to make this just a bit smaller picture.

The photo is a GOOD size--smaller and many of us wouldn't be able to discern enough to be useful.

Are you sure there aren't any other possible parents?

Chick has a single comb, which is recessive to the rose comb of a wyandotte. Nostrils look large, like polish.

If dad is splash, chick is blue or splash something or other.

You can't really judge plumage colour as being the same as down colouration. Down indicated certain genes and therefore variety, but that doesnt mean that individual down matches the appearance of adult feathers.

I will post a new picture tomorrow. there are no other possible parents as I only have 3 kinds of chickens and i know it's NOT from a welsummer egg. so the only females I have are wyandottes (all blue laced reds) and 1 salmon favorelle. only 1 rooster and that is a splash laced blr. (one of my blr has a single comb and her egg is the size this chick came from- super large)
(I do have a male guinea fowl but I doubt he's the dad)

chick is getting white feathering with the black- but you'll be when I post that tomorrow. thanks for the help.

so here is the updated photo- see the black feather in the white?
the chick has the same stray black feather on the other wing and few flecks on it's back appear to be coming in. I also thought I saw some pale buff on the outer most part of the wing next to the large white areas on the other wing. so what is our guess of who's mom? favorelle or blr dottie?
