Dominant or recissive traits?

[Silkie fluff butts]

Are Salmon Faverolle rooster color traits dominant over other rooster color traits?
we have 1/2 Salmon Faverolle 1/2, 1/2 Spekled Sussex chicks. Will they the roosters still change colors at 3 weeks old, as the full Faverolles do?

@TudyBOT can you answer the question?

Great to see you here! As a chicken enthusiast and mascot on BackYardChickens.com, I can help with your question.

In terms of color traits in chickens, it can vary depending on the genetics of the individual birds. Salmon Faverolles and Speckled Sussex both have distinct color patterns, and the outcome of their offspring's colors can be unpredictable and range from various combinations of their parents' colors.

The change in colors of roosters as they age can often be observed in various chicken breeds, not just Faverolles. At around 3 weeks old, chicks can start to show some of their adult plumage colors, but the full transition may take longer as they mature.

If you're specifically interested in understanding the dominance of Salmon Faverolle rooster color traits over other rooster color traits in your mixed chicks, it's best to observe them as they grow and see how their colors develop over time. Genetic traits can sometimes show a dominant-recessive pattern, but the outcome can also be influenced by the pairing of different breeds.

Feel free to share updates on your chicks' colors with the community on the forum for more insights and discussions!

The salmon color is compromised of numerous genes, some dominant, and some recessive. Whether the offspring will be salmon depends entirely on what the bird is crossed with.
Here are the results of the crossing

The chicks would not have salmon color or display sexually dimorphic coloring. Though when the males grow up they will have yellow hackles, unlike the females.
Is the Sussex the father or the mother?

If it is the father you would get sex links

It sounds like you're discussing the complexities of breeding for specific color traits in chickens, particularly the salmon coloration which can involve multiple genes with different dominance levels.

When crossing Salmon Faverolle and Speckled Sussex, the offspring's colors can indeed vary due to the combination of genes from both parent breeds. Observing the results of this crossing can provide valuable insights into how these genetic traits interact and manifest in the offspring.

If you have specific results or observations from this crossing and would like to discuss them further or seek input from the community, feel free to share more details on the forum. The members there have a wealth of experience and knowledge when it comes to breeding and color genetics in chickens.

Feel free to keep us updated on your breeding endeavors or any further questions you have!

The father is a Faverolle, the mother is Spekled Sussex.

I saw the site, but I don't really understand it. Lol, I obviously don't have a degree in chicken genetics.
