silkie x cream legbar cross

[MontanaChickDoc]

If the hen is a white silkie, and the rooster is a crested cream legbar, will the same coloring traits apply as for CCB? ie, will the females chicks be chipmunky, and the males pale yellow with a white dot? I have two...both chipmunky and 5 toes

No, the female has to be barred for it to work. Males pass barring on to all their offspring where as females only pass it on to their sons.

Darn, that would have been nice! Oh well I guess I'll just wait and see.

So along those same lines, if I have pale colored chicks with a white spot on the head, but mom hen is not a legbar, are those always male? I'll get a photo in a moment. Actually, mom hen could be a legbar, but roo could be marans or isbar. I guess I have to know who was what? or can I assume mom was the CLB. Unfortunately I incubated many different colors of eggs and didn't get to see a single one hatch so I have no idea who came out of what color egg.
