Anyone here familiar with the chicken calculator? I have 5 cockerels there are SLW over GLW and I don't know the correct terminology for their coloring

theres are not wyandottes at all as they would be laced if they were

Silver Columbian is the color. They need pattern gene Pg and Melonotic Ml to be laced They don't look like they have that. They don't have rose combs. Are you sure of their parentage?
I had some Red broiler over SLW that looked something like that, but they had wyandotte rose combs.

My Roo is a Silver laced and the hens are gold laced black or RIR. I have 1 of these cockerels that has a rose comb the rest were not. The other color variation was a black with silver the younger bird was at 6 weeks and the other photo is at 12 weeks

I assumed that the mostly black were from the RIR because there was red in each of them at first but it is fading. All of the black ones except one were hens and all of the white ones except for one were cockerels. Then there were 2 that were all white until recently and I was told that they were from the Golden comet hens. They are starting to get a golden red hue to their white feathers

Those cockerels are what you would expect from the SLW over RIR. except for the single combs.... but a lot of SLW are not pure for the rose comb gene. roosters that have one gene for rose comb and one for single are thought to be more fertile than those which are pure for the trait.

So would the black pullets be from the gold laced red wyandotte ?
