Breeding for the first time

[Polishchickenmom]

I have a silver laced polish rooster & 2 polish hens. One is a silver laced as well the other is a buff laced polish.
I'm wondering if anyone had ever bred a silver laced polish roster with a buff laced polish hen & what were the results? I'm a new chicken mom & don't know how the genetics work. Thanks in advance to any advice.

Pullets will be silver with white lacing (basically pure white) and cockerels will be pale yellow with white lacing.

Oh wow, so I'll be able to sex them after hatching? Would this mean they become another breed or how would I classify them as?

They'd all be Polish. Just with non standard coloring.

You basically have accepted and unaccepted coloring by the APA. I don't know what the accepted colors are for Polish, but I'm sure a quick Google search would let you know.

Got it thank you!
Someone just told me they think the buff laced is a rooster its 8 months no crowing so I hope its a hen.

I'm pretty sure that's a hen. The crest feathers are too round (imo) for a cockerel.

Unfortunately, they aren't sex linked. If the chicks have any differences at hatch, they will be very subtle. The different colors will emerge after the chicks start feathering out. They will be pure polish, just mixed varieties.

It's a pullet. A cockerel would have pointed hackle, saddle, and crest feathers at that age.
