The chick down will be Blue because dominant white is dominant over wheaten so they will be E/eWh, but as they grow they will show lot's of leakage on the breast. You can see this on Buff Orp x Black/Blue Australorps.

How dose the porcelain gene work? Why when you breed Millie Fleur to porcelain you get Mille Fleur? Do those chicks carry a lavender gene?

How would you get salmon colored D’Uccles? What color(s) of D’Uccles would you have to breed to a bantam salmon faverolle to achieve this color?
