I have a sweet Chocolate Mottled Satin Silkie rooster that has bred a lot of my females mainly my cinnamon queens. These are old pictures so ignore how bad my cinnamon queen looks we basically rescued her from being wayyyyyy overcrowded! I don’t have pictures of all the ladies as I’ve deleted most of my pictures and need to get new ones. Anyways I do have lots of questions on how chocolate works while I wait for the chicks to finish cooking!
First question-
Would the chocolate make the red in the cinnamon queens darker? The hen pictured is my lightest Cinnamon Queen I do have one that’s the Rhode Island Red color and I’m wanting it to be that/possibly darker if possible.
Second question-
I do have buff silkie hens. What would the chocolate do with a buff breeding?
Third question-
Would the chocolate bred to a black hen produce chocolate females and black males?
Forth question-
Chocolate is a sex link gene is it the case if bred to any color or just black?
Fifth question-
I do have Partridge hens what would I expect if they’re crossed to a chocolate rooster?
Sixth question-
Chocolate rooster bred to a BBR Phoenix hen produce BBR chicks or how would the chocolate work with that cross?
Here are some of the chicken pairings

One of my Cinnamon Queens old picture when she was finally growing her feathers back
Not sure if this one is a buff or not she looks more partridge compared to my other buff hen and looks more buff compared to my partridge hen. Hate her comb but she’s my only one with a very blue face that I’m hoping her chicks will inherit!
These are two of my BBR Phoenix hens.Sorry about the horrible picture it’s a screenshot off of a video!
The goal is to put more Mottled in my flock which I know these chicks won’t show but will be carriers so they’ll be bred back to the dad just curious how the chicks will possibly look!
