I would love to be able to quickly see examples of crosses in a thread/website. Those calculators are helpful but they can get a little confusing.
I have an AC rooster and the rose comb white leghorn rooster over a few different breeds of hens. So far I have only hatched black or white chicks.

Reminds me of mine! I have no clue what she is since she came from an egg from a friend with CCL, polish and tons of other breeds. I don’t think she’s started laying yet she’s about 18 weeks old.

She’s very pretty! Leghorns are dominant white so they will produce white chicks with possibly some leakage or flex of other colors mixed in. Pretty much anything mixed with black will be black.

So what do you get if you cross Ayam cemani with white leghorn?

Most likely white with black flex kind of like an autrawhite or paint.

Dominant white turns black into white.


Blue is a dilute of black

Homozygous blue is splash

Heterozygous blue is blue

And no blue is black

Your all good!

It’s hard to explain, it’s like when things get lighter I guess.

Lavender is also a dilute of black but is recessive so requires two lav genes in order to be visible.
