What Colour Could My Brahma Chicks Be?

[Dwel1234]

Hello everyone

I currently have 7 eggs in the incubator (my first time incubating eggs)
From the mixes below, does anybody have any idea of the colours I may get?

Group one:
Gold partridge Brahma hen
Lemon Pyle Brahma hen
Blue Partridge Brahma
Blue Splash Hen
Blue salmon cockerel

Group two:
Dark Brahma Hen
Buff Columbian Brahma Hen
Blue Partridge Cockerel

Beautiful chickens! Based on the colors you have you would get a lot of blue and black chicks. It would take a while to figure each combo out. Hopefully others more schooled in genetics will answer.

Thank you!

I'd take the time to figure it out, but frankly, I'm lazy. If your adult chickens are pure for colour, then this site should be pretty accurate:

Thank you very much. I can’t see a lot of the colours I have on the lists? Do you know if they have alternative names at all?

Gold partridge Brahma hen = partidge, pencilled. Partridge is often used interchangeably with Duckwing, due to European/American language differences.

Lemon Pyle Brahma hen = red columbian, but use the blue modifier (Bl/Bl) to lighten the black columbian neck and tail to splash. According to this person's cross, the modifier gene used to dilute the the gold to lemon is dominant. There are three different diluter genes for gold, but only one is dominant, and that is Ig, so switch the ig/ig to Ig/Ig. And, of course, red Columbian uses mahogany, which enhances the gold to red. You'll want to get rid of that, so switch Mg/Mg to mg/mg.

Blue Partridge Brahma = Partridge, just switch the bl/bl to Bl/bl.

Blue Splash Hen = splash. You should be able to find that on the list, and if not, it's just solid black with one gene changed—bl/bl to Bl/Bl

Blue salmon cockerel = Go to Salmon on the genetics calculator, and change the bl/bl to Bl/bl

Group two:
Dark Brahma Hen = partridge, pencilled, but with the s/+ changed to S/+

Buff Columbian Brahma Hen = silver columbian, but switch silver to gold.

Blue Partridge Cockerel = Partridge, just switch the bl/bl to Bl/bl.

That’s brilliant, thank you very much for your help!

I love brahmas and your birds are beautiful!

Morning all,

These are the first lot of chicks we hatched from the birds (mostly the first group I think)
They are now about 6 weeks old. Does anybody recognise any of these colours?
