Genetics Question

[MamaHenMyers]

I have a beautiful Orpington hen that I want to breed and have chicks that grow to resemble mom. She is a cream color with gold lacing. What would be the best Roo to keep her colors dominant? I have an Isabel lavender laced Orpington or a chocolate silver laced Orpington. Would either work?

Wow! She is gorgeous! She looks like a light chocolate silver laced (or maybe she's a very dark mauve silver laced
The extra lacing is just because she probably is heterozygous for some of the genes necessary to produce lacing.
Breed her with the chocolate silver laced male.

Some of the chicks would resemble her and some would resemble their father. Her coloring doesn't breed true.
