Crossing breed genetic question

[RBOutdoors]

Which genes are responsible for which parent?

Who is responsible for:
Laying?
Body shape?
Color?
Broody?
Mothering?
Maturing rate?
Finish weight?
Egg color?

Thanks

Broody seems to be the mother, I had the same Silkie roo covering a GLW and a RIR, the broodiness seems to the mother's genes.

Color -both
Finish weight - not sure seems to be father, I have a Marans-JG and he's still only slightly bigger then his father - he has some growing to do yet.


Maturing rate- whoever's slower it seems
Laying rate seems to be mother, egg color seems to be both but leaning towards father.

Keep in mind that these are "rules" in general. There are exceptions and genetics is a complicated thing. And often the opposite sex will get an attribute, such as a female offspring having the fathers coloring and a male having the mother's coloring. But for shape and size of the offspring the hen is really the one that sets that more than anything.
