Feather color genetics

Hi everyone!
Has anyone tried for wheat rumpless araucana rooster with black copper marans hens? I read what combinations can come from it, but has anyone tried it and can share some photos with me? Thank you in advance!

Rumpless is dominant but he may only have one copy. You will get rumpless (and maybe some tailed) olive eggers with pea combs (more like an intermediate, a pingle comb like the father), single combs, and beards, and the same coloration as their mothers.

I thought rumpless was a lethal allele. So he should only have 1 copy period, right?

Using Black Copper Marans(Red Birchen is Dominant) won't help with trying to produce Wheaten Araucana. Use wheaten colored birds instead.

I'm not trying to produce wheaten birds. It's just what I have at two different flocks and I was wondering what will come from it if I mix them

No, ear tufts is lethal, but he doesn't have those so I'm not worried. Sometimes homozygous rumpless birds have lower fertility so there are many heterozygous ones in the Araucana population, that's why I don't know what he has.

I didn't think aracuanas had beards and muffs.

I've never heard of a pingle comb haha. is that what this is? He's half black copper marans and half whiting true blue.

Oh, okay. I read differently based on what you wrote.
