Light Brahma roo x buff Brahama hens = what color chicks?

[lceh]

Would I get a blend of light Brahma and buff Brahma babies, or darkish lights and lightish buffs? I tried the chicken calculator but was a bit overwhelmed by all the lingo....

My Light Brahma x Buff Orpington came out completely white with some columbian markings. I have a feeling yours will be similar, but will be pure Brahma (just have the color of the Light Brahma).

Ah, so if I want any buff babies at all I need to have a buff roo? Darn, I love the look of the buff girls but find the light roos irresistable....

The pullet offspring ought to look like their father in colour (light brahma), the male offspring ought to look like a dingy version of their father with brassy hackles. However, if you feel like breeding one of the sons back to the buff columbian brahmas you ought to get some (in the region of 50%) buff columbian males & females.

Thanks!

I ordered some bantam buff brahmas and I go them in may. One turned out to be a light brahma, I thought. He is mostly white with some buff coloured in his hackle feathers, so would he be the outcome of a light buff x?
Here he is, not good pics but I think you see the colour:

That helps a lot!

Thanks!
