Depends on the "purity" of your brownred, (hate that word when disscussing gamefowl), but I can offer a few thoughts/insights.... In chickens, the hen dictates the sex of the offspring, therefore the cockerels should favor her genes over the males genetics. The brownred must be dominate color wise to the RIR since the pullets who received an "X" from each parent look the part of the BR. Both sides should show some of the columbian restriction though. Comb wise, pea is dominant to straight, so to get straight and pea combs, the pea must be an incomplete in the parents. It is hard genetically when you add in a gamefowl since so many different things went into the makeup of the various families and strains that there is always a possibility of some crazy throwback, especially when crossing breeds. Sound like some pretty birds though, post us a pic if you can...
