My Dominique mix?

Is leg feathering guaranteed in a mix for the first generation?

Feathered legs are dominant, so yes. You would expect to see at least one leg feather if a parent breed had feathered legs.

Interesting. Are you able to reference some good articles on the topic of dominant genes?

Yes partial leg feathering would appear in the first cross then slowly disappear generations later

Just an update on my Mixed breed girl Mabel.. she is still incredibly large.. same size as my Bramha girl Louise though less fluff and curves. And she never grew any significant waddles! Her comb is also odd and small! I *believe* she may be laying as is squatting, her comb/wattles are bright red and she very loud & chatty! I had 5 eggs yesterday (out of 7 girls) and I know for sure my EE isn’t laying. All but the EE is squatting/ has reddened up and enlarged comb/wattles. Any thoughts? (edit to add: she is ~7 months)
