Silver Sebright x Bantam Gold Laced Polish

[MysteryChicken]

I don't know what the sebright looked like when he hatched because he was a year old rooster when he was given to us, but he's a tiny thing. He's one of my favorites. My bantam polish is about the same size as him and she has been stuck to his side since the day I brought him home.

Oh, okay.

Oh, okay.

We've had him since October. His previous family wanted a good home for him and gifted him to us at a swap we were at.

Can someone please help me figure out what I can expect when I cross my Silver Sebright rooster and Bantam Gold Laced Polish pullet?

Coloring? Size? And anything else you can tell me... I'm awful at genetics or maybe it's just that I've never taken the time to truly understand it all.

Thank you

As far as color the F1 cross will hatch all Silver(S+/s+ chick down look identical as S/S and S/- chick down) so no sex link here. Both breeds lacing is based on Birchen based lacing, which is ER/ER, Ml/Ml, Pg/Pg, Co/Co, Db/Db.

Hmmm... I've never seen a silver chick. I got these two when they were older. I've never had laced breeds until now.

I thought lacing was created with e^b/e^b, Pg, Pg, Co/Co Ml/Ml?

Partridge based.

Partridge based.

On a few breeds like Sebright and Polish the lacing is based on ER not on eb

Oh, okay.
I just thought Partridge was the primary for lacing.

on some breeds eb is not found, You can tell if its ER or eb lacing if you look at the tail, eb lacing have black tail, on ER based lacing pattern extends to the tail(thanks to Co and Db)
