Chicken mix question

[Anne02]

Hi all! I was wondering about a cross of chicken, what it would look like. An Australorp rooster over a Silver Laced Wyandotte hen. What would it look like? Would it inherit the rose comb, or single comb? What would the feathers/lacing look like? What color legs? Any answers are appreciated!

Asking because I was thinking about *maybe* breeding my Australorp roo to my SLW pullet.

Probably rose comb, black feathers, legs colored like the Australorp.
Chance of single comb, depending on the genetics of the hen--it's possible for a chicken with a rose comb to also have the recessive gene for not-rose.

You should also expect some sort of leakage.

Plugging in a Black Australorp Rooster over a Silver Laced Wyandotte Hen it gave-
Pullets who are black with black legs, rosecomb
Cockerels who are black with black legs (light unders), rosecomb

Leakage? Like silver lacing on the feathers?

Like some partial lacing on the breast, & or silver in the neck hackles.

Ooh, sounds pretty! Might have to give the mix a try.

Trying to figure out this website. If I can figure out how to use it, it would be invaluable to me, but I'm having trouble.
