Breeding Red Pyle OEGB and white OEGB

[Barbie Q]

I have a question about breeding my red Pyle OEGB rooster with my white OEGB hen. I have read different opinions on this subject and wondering if anyone out there could offer some any clarification on what these babies may end up looking like. Thanks in advance!

Wouldn't all the chicks just be white? I would imagine white oegb are on extended black, and I don't see any gold leakage on her, so I would assume the hen is E/E, and all her chicks white, maybe with leakage.

The male isn't pure for Dominant White, only one copy, that's why there's so much black in his tail, so he's more of a Leaky Paint, rather then a true Pyle.

I see. But even so, unless the mother carries e+, all of the chicks should be mostly white-with varying black/gold leakage. Do you think she carries it?

She may, she may not. Hard to know 100% sure of what maybe hidden under her white.

He's not a good representation of "Red Pyle" wayy too much black. I'd venture to say he shouldn't have any black at all. Looks more blue splash

The roo, in the OP's picture as far as I can tell, has no blue, so I don't think he's Splash.
But breeding should confirm either way.

Solid white in OEGBs is generally recessive white, isn't it? Which would mean only half would be leaky white if we're assuming that the male has one copy of dominant white, and the other half would be colored depending on what genes the female carries beneath her recessive white exterior.

I have also heard of red pyle being splash breasted red instead of black breasted red with dominant white. Wondering if that could possibly be why the male in the first post has such dark tail feathers. I suspect above all else that he's not really red pyle but a mix of varieties, as he appears to have mottling on his colored feathers as well.
