Creating Experimental Black Crele Chickens (Different Genetics, new variety)

[nicalandia]

I believe this chicken will be black, due to the genetics.

The Sire is Half barred and I see the white spot on top of the chick's head(even if wet), so it's barred, now the question will be if it's Hemizygous(Female) or Heterozygous(Male) barred.

Here's a chick that hatched this morning. Genetics for this chick is Buff Orpington/Barred Rock crossed with Buff Orpington.

The chick is clearly wheaten based(eWh/eWh) we can't say for now if it's going to be barred(Wheaten is really not good at expressing sex link as chicks) but if it's barred I predict a very beautiful Barred/Cuckoo Buff color

Cuckoo is a good start. The feather quills on the wings are Black, & Buff. I sexed the chick too, looks like a pullet.

Did you wing sex? That is not reliable.
