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?

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

Also, can you post a picture of your hens? That way it is easier to guess the color if the offspring.

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.

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.

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

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.

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).

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

This is the best zoom in of one of my hens I could do when I was cleaning up a polish coop. And the lady told me she wasn't sure what kind of polish when she got it as a chick, just that it was a frizzled polish straight run. Now he's grown and so she knows he's a roo. I wasn't sure if those colors were what they considered a buff polish frizzle. I just wanted to make sure he is safe to be with my tolbunt hens
