What Do Y'all Think Would Happen if My Black Australorp Roo and Salmon Faverolles Hen Had A Chick?

[SEaton611]

I know...a little bit about genetics but nothing super super serious, so I'm curious if anyone has any experience crossing Black Australorps with Salmon Faverolles. Ideally, I'd love a fluffy goth bird with the personality of a Faverolles (they're so funny omg) and the laying ability of an Australorp. But I've never actually bred my own chickens and this is just a fun experiment I'm considering. My Australorp rooster is the absolute best rooster in the universe (unless you're a dog...in which case he's not happy about your presence) and has shown some interest in my Faverolles so it doesn't seem impossible for it to happen!

Thoughts?

You'd have a bearded, five toed cross bred with a mellow temperament. Remember that roughly half the chicks hatched will be cockerels. Have a plan for them.

I currently have a couple eggs in the incubator from my salmon favoril hens and a black austrolop rooster due to hatch in about 8 days

Sorry the reply took so long we had a huge blizzard up here in Montana where I live I lost power and lost most of my baby chicks but today the last little tough guy to survive broke through his egg here's the picture I'll send you another one when he's dry and up and moving

The offspring would be mostly black. Roos would have a bit of silver leakage.

And feathered legs. Don't forget the feathered legs!

"Soooo.... pictures in 9 days?" she asked, hoping the answer would be yes.

Yes soon as they hatch and dry I will show picks of course

Sorry to hear about your chick loss, @whitewolf1871341 . It's crazy to hear about blizzards since were still getting up to the 70s in the smoky mountains.

Here is a pic from a few mins ago when I got home from work it's so tiny it has a little bit of feathers on its legs and is multi colored

What would the egg colors be? Would it me the color of what the mom layed ?

Light Brown I'm sure.
