I don't particularly care what color they come as long as they act right.

@lmljsl have you bred White over black before?

A little, so take this for what it is worth... To get black or white birds, you have to eliminate other color patterns or cover them up. Black or white tends to be dominant, but not always. Based on the pics you have shared of your whites, I would guess it is a dominant white. You are most likely to get some white or dirty white birds out of the cross, but there probably is a whole host of other colors hiding behind those black and white birds that may show up in the cross.

SDM's blues are another set of genetics. Blue, black and splash plus all of the underlying modifiers make some of cool color patterns, but I do not think white is part of it.

Very helpful thank you!

Yeah makes sense, my first white hens produced Brown Reds, Wheaton BBR and Whites (only females) when paired with a mixed BBR American cock.

Mine tend to be either white or not.. I have never had a dirty white or pyle ever show up. Until last year I never bred a white rooster to a white hen.

All my whites have the single half black feather in the same spot

You are welcome. It is pure speculation as there are so many unknowns with your fowl.
