Genetics question on crossbred babies

[steiggy]

Hi there!

I just got 3 aconda/Australorp cross chicks. I am curious as to what they’ll likely feather out to be. Dad was the ancoda, mom was the Australorp. Just wondering if I can expect solid black babies or if there is a chance for speckles?

Thanks!

Mottling is recessive, so no speckles in these ones, I'm afraid. If you breed these back to a mottled bird, half their offspring will be.
