I wish I could take pictures like yours. I always manage to leave bits of the bird out of the pic.

The chick looks wheaten, but, is that an eye stripe? I wonder whether it is heterozygous for e+ (which is the gene you want for saumon doré).

Sorry. Heterozygous means that he two genes in the gene pair are not the same gene. They are different genes for that position (called alleles). For instance, silver & gold are alternative genes for a particular position they are alleles. If both the genes of the gene pair were gold the bird would be homozygous gold if the bird carried one gold gene & one silver gene the bird would be called heterozygous for silver & gold.
That wasn't the best example because they are sex linked genes but as we had been talking about silver/gold.....

Phenotype refers to what the creature (or plant) looks like; genotype refers to the actual genes carried by the creature (or plant)​

Going back to your original question, the chicks from that mating will be basically Black, but may show a little colour (silver) in the neck hackles both,breast on pullet,and shoulders of cockerels.
The chick does nor look like a Silver Salmon,silver duckwing ,but more like a Wheaten.
