A light male over a buff female would result in light females and sort of straw colored males. The females would appear 100% light. You might have issues for several generations with slightly off colored/brassy looking males. Better to find a light female in my opinion. Unless you have a gigantic genetic brain like Gary. What county is Joshua in?

Thats just part of having project birds. They seldom breed true. Ruthless culling is required. Most people who get them have neither the desire nor stomache for culling. They pass along every bird that hatches as "buff laced Brahmas". Enjoy your bird, just accept it for what it is. A Pretty bird, a wonderful pet, an excellent backyard layer.
