Breeding a tolbunt polish and frizzle

[Kirbabychick]

Hi guys, so I have a question, I'm not experienced with the whole breeding thing, come spring I was going to breed my tolbunt polishes, so tomorrow I am going to get a rooster I seen and fell in love with. I'm not sure the type maybe someone can help me, but can I breed him with my tolbunt hens and what color would offspring most likely be?

I sounded like you don't know what the breed is. If you don't, then I will tell you. It is a frizzled buff laced polish. So if you bred him you would prob get something laced, because I am pretty sure tolbunts were made using gold laced polishs and mille fleur polishs.

My best guess is that he is maybe a frizzle laced silkie?

Frizzle, yes (because of how the feathers are shaped).
Laced, yes (because the feathers have white "lacing" along their edges.)
Not Silkie, because he has normal-textured feathers, not silkie feathers.

It is a frizzled buff laced polish.

I agree

I was thinking the same thing. The chicks will probably be colored much like the rooster, because the mottling in the tolbunt pattern is caused by a recessive gene (so it won't be visible if the chicks only inherit that gene from their mother).

He is beautiful! Nice lacing! My best guess is that he is maybe a frizzle laced silkie? But these guys know a lot more than me at genetics : @NatJ @nicalandia @MysteryChicken

Nope!!
He's a Buff Laced Frizzled Polish.

Do you think I'll get any frizzle tolbunt colors?

If the father is frizzle and the mother is not, about half the chicks should be frizzles.

You probably won't get any actual tolbunts, because of how the mottling gene works (it's what makes the white tips on the colorful feathers.)

He looks like a Buff Laced, but looks more red.

I was thinking buff laced, but he also looked “frizzly”. How can you tell?

He's also a Frizzle.

The white lacing on the edge of the feathers, plus the overall color.
