Sounds like a beautiful mix!
@MysteryChicken, could you help?

A golden comet is a hybrid so it would just be a pretty barnyard mix

Yes, I can help.

The offspring will be white chicks, or light yellow chicks.

Adult plumage will be white, with mixed pattern, & maybe some red leakage. Males will be more of a lemony color due to being gold split to silver.

Some will probably have black markings on the white, but some will probably be almost solid white.

If you like genetics, the white ones have the same markings as the black ones, but turned white because the Golden Comet hen has one copy of the Dominant White gene. If you don't like genetics, they're just white chickens

The black would be from the Birchen from the father, the Silver Laced Wyandotte. I forgot about that gene. I'm tired. Been lacking in sleep because of deer hunting season. I do love genetics, & learning about them.

Nothing to do with the Birchen (e-locus), just lack of Dominant White (I).

A Rhode Island Red (father of Golden Comet) also has the not-Dominant White (i+), and so would any other chicken that has a pattern of black-and-gold or black-and-silver.

Golden Comets are Red plus Dominate white so the offspring should result in Mh/mh+, I/i+, included in the expression of Phenotype. Birchen results in an extension of black, so that'll result in splotches, or streaking in the feathers.

Are you saying the Goldne Comets are I/i+, or their chicks are I/i+?

Your modeling in the calculator works if the Golden Comet hen is pure I/I
But because Golden Comets are a hybrid, and the father is usually a Rhode Island Red (i+/i+), then I am modeling the Golden Comet as I/i+

If the Golden Comet hen is I/i+
And the Silver Laced Wyandotte rooster i+/i+

Then some chicks should be I/i+ and some chicks should be i+/i+
So some chicks will show black (i+/i+) and some chicks will show little to no black (I/i+)

So my point has nothing to do with Birchen, just with whether the chick can show black or not.

About half the chicks should look "silver laced" or "silver-something," while the other half should look all white. (Yes, allowing for red leakage in all of them, as you previously mentioned.)
