Creating Crele Colored Chickens

So the Sire is Buff Orp/Barred Rock cross and the Dame is a Buff Orp/Australorp cross?
From the looks of the pics, I can confirm that the chick is actually a male(cockerel), as for why not crele? Crele is a term that has been asigned to a phenotype(looks) that is based on the wild type e+(think about black breasted red or gold duckwing), the chick on the picture is based on Extended black(E) and is most likely E/eWh(Extended black from Barred Rock or From Black Australorp and eWh is Wheaten from Buff orp side) but she could also be E/E(Extended black from Barred Rock and From Black Australorp) the male chick has barring and most likely will develop to be a solid black barred rooster(dark barring) with some gold leakage on breast/shoulders when adult
I sexed her on day 1 myself the feathers were uneven indicating she a pullet.

I have a strong feeling(I am strong with the force ;) ) that it's a male! but would be nice if it's a female too..

Nice pic of Sire. The chick will likely look alot like him(which by the way is a pattern that looks very much like crele, but it really isn't if you would like to get too technical), the chick could also be abit darker if he is homozygous for the Extended black gene.!

I'll be posting updates of my chick's growth, and color development.
