I don't know the genetics of the Furness color. It looks most like the quail variety of Antwerp Belgian bantams to me. But I believe black is fairly dominant so the chicks would probably be mostly black with some brown/gold markings.

This is old thread, but I just have to say that is a beautiful bird! I want one! (or 2 or 3 or 4 ....)

The Furness phenotype is based on a gold melanized wheaten, most likely Melanotic(Ml and perhaps other melanotic) covering the hackel, saddle, shoulders, when you cross them to a solid black bird, you will hatch mostly black birds, the Extended black and melanizers will make the progeny of this cross completely or mostly black

Anyone here working on this color? Looking for someone who knows the color type.
