Help with possible Campine x Polish breeding project

[BreadBreadson]

I am trying to plan a cross between a Golden Campine hen and a Polish rooster, with the desired outcome being offspring that are preferably gold, have a (probably small) crest, and have at least some of the Campine barring. I have fiddling around with this chicken genetic calculator (http://kippenjungle.nl/kruising.html), and it seems like the results I want are impossible from an F1 crossing. Is this true? Is there any color of Polish rooster I could use, or would it take more in-depth breeding to get what I want? I know that the full extent of a chicken’s genetics cannot be gleaned from outward appearance alone, but could someone at least point me in the right direction?

That depends on the color of the Polish rooster, what is the color of your rooster?

I don't have the rooster yet, it's what color I should get that I'm trying to figure out. Using the chicken calculator, it seems like no color that a Polish comes in will work, but then again I don't know how accurate the chicken calculator is. Do you have a suggestion for color? I'd be willing to go after some of the rarer ones, or maybe even use a different crested breed if necessary.

I am no polish expert but from a fast research I think none of the current colors and patterns available in the polish will work, but if I had to start somewhere I would select Black Polish crossed with Campine and then due a F1xF1 and many of the F2s will be autosomal barred

Thank you!

Breeding to black will work, you should get some chicks with a vaulted skull. Breed the vaulted skull chicks back to campine. Select from these chicks for color and crests and go from there. This way I think would result in less junk birds than an F1 cross.
