Comb questions

Silver and gold are sex-linked so pullets inherit their gene from their father while cockerels receive an allele from their father and their mother. Heterozygous cockerels look mostly silver but they do have a golden cast.

If the rooster has a gold mother he has to be heterozygous for gold so half his daughters will be gold and if crossed with a gold hen half his sons will be gold.
X hen 1 gives you gold and silver/gold sons and silver and gold daughters (with or without lemon.
X hen 2 same as hen 1
X hen 3 gives you silver and silver/gold sons and silver and gold daughters.

Thank you! This is exactly what I wanted to know

The “golden cast” you are talking about is only slightly yellow right? Like a dirty white?

Yep

Would you also happen to know what a chamois rooster x hen 1 would look like?

Or what a chamois rooster x hen 3 would look like?

You'd get more chamois or gold. If he is carrying lemon you might get citron but I don't think he's carrying lemon.

Does anyone know what a Silver Appenzeller Spitzhauben rooster x Barred Rock hen’s offspring would look like?

Barred roosters and black hens.
Small crests, partly double single combs.

Hi again. I hope I’m not being annoying with all my questions!

If my lemon hen (diluted gold) x silver rooster had a cockerel, could I get some lemon chicks if I then bred that cockerel back to his mom (lemon hen)?



And also if hen 3 (silver dad x golden mom) had a cockerel with a silver rooster, would that cockerel carry gold? Or would it be random whether or not he carries gold?
