I have a barred rock rooster and I’m wanting to breed him with my Ameraucana hen, my silkie hen, and a Colombian Wyandotte…. Wondering if anyone has bred these and what color the chicks will lay? I’m hoping the ameraucana will lay olive/green??? I saw a chart and the prediction is 50/50…. Has anyone bred any of these mixes if so please post pictures

Welcome to BYC!!
 
Welcome to BYC.
I believe if you breed him to those hens your female chicks will get the barring from the father, and the males will not be barred (unless the mothers are barred)
As far as egg color, it's a guessing game. Good luck!
 
I’m pretty sure all chicks from a double-barred male are barred! So they will all have barring. Your Ameraucana babies should lay green, and the Silkie mix will lay a very light brown, the Wyandotte mix will lay a regular brown/tan.
