Polish Colour Genetics

[GeometricPanda]

Hey all,
I'm doing some research into colour genetics and breeding and I was wondering if someone could check my thinking:

Rooster	Hen	Outcomes
Black Poland	Black Poland	Black Poland
Blue Poland	Black Poland	Black Poland
Blue Poland	Blue Poland	Splash Poland
Splash Poland	Black Poland	Blue Poland
Splash Poland	Splash Poland	Splash Poland
Gold Poland	Black Poland	Black Poland
Black Poland	Silver Poland	Black Poland
Gold Poland	Silver Poland	Gold Laced Poland - Sex Linked Female Lemon Poland - Sex Linked Male
Silver Poland	Gold Poland	Silver Poland - Sex Linked Female Gold Poland - Sex Linked Male
Splash Poland	Silver Poland	Blue Poland
Chamois Poland	Silver Poland	Gold Poland - Sex Linked Female Lemon Poland - Sex Linked Male

I'm hoping that if we can get the theory right, that my partner and I can start breeding Black, Blue, Gold and Lemons.

Any help figuring this mine-field out would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there, welcome to BYC!

You're jumping right in to the fun stuff!

I'm very early in my genetic learning adventure but have a few links to share that might be of interest or help..

I had found a good page on Lemon pyle but can't seem to find it currently, will keep looking and post if I come across it.

Happy chickeneering!

The blue x black = blue and black
Blue x blue = blue, black and splash.
I only breed blue, black splash poland chickens so not sure about the silver/gold or other combos

Silver and gold:
Gold male, silver female gives gold daughters, silver sons
Silver male, gold female gives all silver chicks

In both cases, the sons will have both the silver and gold genes, so maybe that's what you mean when you say some will be "lemon"?
Females only have one gene for gold or silver, and they get it from their father.

Chamois (male) x silver (female)
If Chamois is white lacing on gold, and silver has black lacing on gold, you should get:
Chamois daughters, white sons (white lacing on silver)
