EE + BO=what color eggs will the resulting offspring lay?

[TheKindaFarmGal]

I always wonder which traits pass on according to which breed is the male verses female. For example if you cross BR with RR you get sex link but only with the correct one being the roo (not sure which).

The hen is BR and rooster is RIR (or pick a different breed - NH, for example).

The hen only passes the barring genes to her sons, so chicks that hatch with a white spot (indicating barring) are male. The rest are female. You don't get sex link chicks if you have a barred rooster and solid hen; roosters pass the barring gene to male and female chicks. That is why barred breeds such as Barred Rocks and Dominiques have lighter males (two barring genes - father and mother) while the pullets are darker because she only has one from the father.

And @donrae you are very bad. Now I *need* Salmon Faverolles.

I'm enthralled by them, but apparently more in theory than in fact

I had hatching eggs personally transported 300 miles Hatched 3 of 12, none made it to a month old.
I had a hen gifted to me who was probably oder, and just not hardy. She died in a few months.
Had a very nice cockerel but nothing to do with him, so I sold him.
Then, the feed store got in a batch of them and I was doing the happy dance. Brought home 9, but those suckers made a hobby of dying off for no apparent reason. I'm down to 2, and I think they're 4 months old. One looks more like 2 months, the other is bigger but not much. The color is all funky, they're very dark breasted. I'd really wanted them for breeding sex links, but these birds just aren't hardy enough to be used as breeding stock.
So, last month I was at the livestock auction and there was a cage with a Faverolles hen, a brown Leghorn, a barred Rock and a barnyard mix. First time I bought birds at the auction

. No idea how old she is, but she's not a young pullet. Not much beard and the legs are lightly feathered, and instead of 5 toes per foot she's a 9er total. But, her color is good so I may use her for breeding in the spring.

Wow, that's tough! I've only discovered one breeder of Faverolles online where I live (not in the USA), and the hatching eggs are pretty expensive. So maybe in the future, but not now.

NEED!
Do you know who passes the egg color to who?

Mine came from Ideal (3) and CL (4).
So far I've only lost two (egg bound both times), but they've had multiple close calls due to their "quirkiness". Stuck upside down behind the coop, forgetting how to exit/enter the coop, etc.

Who is who? Sort of confused here.

Both parents contribute genes for egg color.

Both parents contribute genes for egg color.

Is there any way to know which will be dominant?

I meant which parent passed the egg color to which off spring.

Please read my response to the OP. It's the second post on this thread.
