Dark Brahma Roo X Light Brahma Hen

[rural mouse]

This is helpful thank you

So in the case of dark over light, both the male and female offspring would be light with some/varied penciling.

Males will likely be at least partly black breasted. Females will look like this (left side)

This is so great. Thanks so much for sharing the picture. I haven’t been able to find anything where there was a visual. But I’ve got 22eggs in the incubator so we’ll soon get a first hand account

Assuming the buff females will also have some of the extra black leakage and varied pencilling?

You could end up with all sorts of interesting looks

this one's mother was a gold laced wyandotte

this one's mother is a dark brahma.

The father to both of them is a gold penciled hamburg. Any way you slice it, you're going to end up with some unique beauties.

Ooh! Thank you! I've never seen a bird like the one below. This is useful for my genetics knowledge. I will be bookmarking. Was the gold pencilled hamburg mostly gold in color without barring on his chest?

Could I also put these on my genetics blog? I would credit you, of course. It's rare that I get a resource if mixed colors where I know exactly the genotype and I think it would be useful for people to actually know them instead of just saying "they're mixed." In turkeys and quail they can just look at any bird and name the genotype but in chickens we don't have that.

took this a bit over a week ago.

and last month...

this is his grandson. The son was from my brown leghorn hen, then got crossed with one of my buff orp x EE girls. He's got the black breast from the leghorn, but has some gold edging. I would speculate some of that in the roos of the cross you're looking at in later generations. The son's breast was solid black.

Sure. I've been playing "where did this trait come from" for a while.
Here's a few more.

this is Storm. She hatched from an egg from another flock. The roo was a blue laced red wyandotte (we figured out he was splash marked as 100% of his offspring were blue: her full brother is flock master now, red, white and blue striped). The mother was a black Olive Egger with really small/light pinstripes. When Storm popped a 3 feather crest, we determined that the OE mix had to be a Cream Crested Legbar and a Cuckoo Marans. Which way that went, not sure.

this is her daughter

with him for a father. He's definitely a mixed breed: father was a buff orp x EE mix and (based upon kippenjungle tweaking) mother was most likely a silver laced wyandotte. He is also the father to the hen back left. Her mother is the lady in front of Storm

a Partridge Plymouth Rock.

mote pics of that cross, 2nd with the brown leghorn.

the son hamburg x leghorn

And the sisters

front left is hamburg x brown leghorn. Black in the niddle is hamburg x mottled houdan

and the mother. Got 2 of that cross, one of which popped a couple of white feathers in an adult moult and the following year, really showed the mottling. (No pics of that)

this hen (I have 2, not entirely sure which one of the 2) is a White Sapphire. McMurray used to carry them. They were supposed to lay blue eggs, but neither does. They're basically a splash leghorn. When crossed with my hamburg,

got her and her twin out of the cross.

one of the 2 dainty blue hamburg x sapphires bred back to her father for the little guy in the middle. Very much blue.

the hamburg x golden wyandotte again

and her mother.

and the buff orp x EE father mentioned above.

Wow! These are all very beautiful, interesting birds! Thank you for sharing!
Maybe I should start a thread for hybrids. I think it would be interesting to have a database where you enter the genotype and can see what the appearance of the bird might look like whether a mix or not. Not a calculator but just a way to see what the random mixed genotypes look like as they know in turkeys. Sadly I don't know how to code.

the son hamburg x leghorn

I'm surprised he doesn't express Db. I'm trying to figure why.
