Hey all. Still learning about genetics and all but just wanted some general info on what I might see if I do some hatching of what I've got.

My flock consists of 14 hens and a Lavender orpington roo.
HEN LIST:
2- Lav orpington​
1- chocolate orpington​
2 -Rhode Island Red​
2 - Red star​
2- Plymouth rock​
3 - barred rocks​
2 - easter Eggers (golden-esque with some black tips on em)​
I know the Lavenders will make more lavenders of course with them both being recessive genes. And the lavXChoc will not be Lavender but possibly black-brown since both are black overlay if I interpret it correctly. I don't know whose eggs are whose besides the EE's since they have green eggs.

So I'm just trying to figure out basics as I delve into this stuff deeper and possibly sell off some chicks in the future.
