What will I get putting a Lavender Mottled Orpington Rooster over Lavender Orpington hens? General info and genetics info appreciated. Thanks in advance, Backyard Chicken folks! Y’all are the best!
 
I've not played with the mottled gene (mo), but I understand it's completely recessive.
Mottled rooster (mo/mo)
Solid hens (Mo/Mo)
Chicks receive one gene from each parent and are (Mo/mo) or not mottled.
If you crossed them back to their father, half of their chicks would be (Mo/mo) and the other half would be (mo/mo).
