Shakes the magic 8 ball (Will they be mottled?)

[FuzzyCritters]

I don't know if they will be mottled, but some are sex linked. One of the hens is silver and your rooster is gold, so female chicks from that pair will be gold and males will be silver. All the ones with silver faces are male.

The patterning gene crossed with another bird can result in some sort of a lacing pattern.

Oh, interesting! I'm off to read about it. I've never heard of that before. Thanks!
And beautiful chicks, OP! I can't wait to see how they mature.

Most of the time the pattern will be messy, occasionally they can be abit more clearer, but not all the time.

My rooster is split mottled so are two of the hens with him the other two are speckled sussex. Now I hatched 13/16 eggs according to the mottling chart I have a 1 out of 4 chances of getting a mottled chick so if thats 1/4 and I hatched 13 thats 4/13 chicks that in theory should be mottled if it was the speckled sussex eggs they would be half and half they werent laying then
Heres the parents

Yeah. One copy of the Pattern Gene will produce some funny results.
