Ok so we have are Brahma mama who’s 6 months old ( not an actual mama yet) and we have a lot of roasters of diff. Breeds. Wondering what this would make

(Brahma is standing for are partridge Brahma, and sorry for the long post :)


Black copper Marans x Brahma

Barred rock x Brahma

Silver laced Wyandotte x Brahma

Olive Egger ( BCM with Ameracaunca ) x Brahma

And a mysterious eater Egger cross

Edit: also we have some sapphire splash chicks

All chicks will probably have feathered feet. All chicks should have either pea comb (with most roosters) or walnut comb (with any rose comb roosters, such as the Wyandotte.) The "pea combs" could be large or small, depending on which genes are inherited by each chick. Pea x single will usually produce bigger combs than pea x pea, but exceptions definitely do exist.

For colors:
Black copper Marans x Brahma
Chicks should look a lot like Black Copper Marans.

Barred rock x Brahma
Black chicks with white barring.

Silver laced Wyandotte x Brahma
Some black-and-silver pattern, not exactly like the laced Wyandotte or the Brahma pattern but resembling both. The "silver" in the chicks may be yellowish, or have some red/gold leakage, rather than being a nice clean white color.

Olive Egger ( BCM with Ameracaunca ) x Brahma
May look like the chicks from the Black Copper Marans, or may produce chicks of some other color, depending on what color Ameraucana was involved, and which genes are inherited by each specific chick.

Daughters have about a 50% chance of laying green eggs, 50% chance of laying brown eggs (various shades of green and of brown, ranging from light to dark.)

And a mysterious eater Egger cross
I can't make any useful predictions here, except that the daughters have a chance of laying green eggs or brown eggs.

Edit: also we have some sapphire splash chicks
Chicks will probably be blue all over.

Other than the Olive Egger and the Easter Egger cross, all roosters would produce daughters that lay brown eggs.
 
Oops, forgot to inclue:
for any rooster that has a beard, the chicks have a chance of having a beard too. From that particular list, I would expect that the Olive Egger has a beard and the Easter Egger cross might have a beard, but the others do not.
 
Ok so the olive Egger ameruacana was a Wheaton ameracauna
In that case, some chicks may look sort-of like Partridge or Wheaten color (probably not exactly like either, but some resemblance to both.) And some chicks will probably resemble Black Copper Marans, since that is the other half of the Olive Egger's genetic makeup.

Feather color and whether the chick has a beard will have nothing to do with what color eggs the daughters lay, because those genes are inherited independently of each other.
