how do I replicate my hen's feather colour in her offspring?

[Minky]

I have a lovely EE. She has slate legs, and is white/cream colour with beard and muffs. I think she's gorgeous...like a snowy owl.
Each time I hatch I always try and hatch her eggs, but not once have I had a pullet turn out looking like her. How can I get one?
I have several roosters to choose from.
Would photos help?

Seems like Wheaten, which is recessive to anything.

This is a Faverole hen, Wheaten and bearded

Not on the first cross but You can breed one of her sons back to her

You could try a wheaten rooster.

LOL yes, but I have too many roosters and none wheaten. I do have a mainly white rooster with purple spots...?

even if her sons don't look like her/other colour? And then what do you think the chances would be to get a Wheaton pullet from that breeding?

Not way to know if a Rooster is Wheaten unless it's a known breed like Wheaten Marans, Faverolles

Yes, very similar to this bird. slightly more cream and less soft brown. But yes, I think she is Wheaton.

50% chance of the progeny being wheaten and 50% of females
