I am hatching a cross I bought online between an Ayam Cemani rooster and Easter Egger hens. The seller sent me photos of the hens.

What do you guys think their feather color genetics might be?

These are my thoughts: All of them seem to have the Bl blue dilution gene-

1) duckwing/salmon/wildtype with a little melanization in the hackle

2) duckwing/salmon/wildtype with a little melanization in the hackle

3) Does not have salmon breast.. Is this wheaten-based? or is it e+ wildtype with Co Colombian or something? And heaviest melanization of the three.

The hens is a e+/eWh wildtype wheaten heterozygote with the blue dilution, the Cemanies are most likely Extended Black. The cross will be 50% Solid Black Melanistic as chicks and 50% Solid Blue Melanistic as chicks, when they grow they may show some gold leakage.
