Has anyone had chicks out of a sapphire gem rooster to barred rock hen? Anyone who has more knowledge than I do know what colors I should expect? I’m expecting a decent egg production am I right in thinking that?
I have an American game hen currently sitting on a clutch of her own eggs and also some of my barred rock hens eggs.
 
They'd both be barred, right? Hmm.
Sapphire Gem rooster should have one barring gene and one non barring gene. Barring is sex linked. Since he could throw either gene half the girls would be barred but half wouldn't be. The boys would all be barred but half would have only one barring gene and half would have two.
The rooster should be blue based and the hens black based so half the chicks would be blue and half black.
I was just curious if the rooster had any gold tone leakage. If he does some of the offspring would also have it.
