polish color genetics

[chickygirl2]

Before I seperated my polish colors for the season, my all white polish hen was in with a white crested blue roo. Their babies appear to be the same color as the roo. They are only a week old. So, if I crossed my hen with other polish colors, would I get those in the babies? Is the white color recessive ? Thanks

From what you tell me, I understand that your hen is resessive white. But, you don't know what genes she is hiding after/behind the white color. Self colored birds like blue and black will always produce blue and black birds with her. The laced varieties which are combination a 3 or 4 genes and because you don't know what genes she is hiding, you can not expect pure laced birds.

Laced birds being silver laced , buff laced, any others?
