What might these crosses give?

Spangling is a bit tricky. It requires a few of the 'complex' pattern genes, these control the expression of the e-locus genes (basic patterns). You need dark brown to restrict the black of the birchen, Pg to give you penciling, and melanotic (M1) to push the black in the feather to the tips of the feather.
The difference between a wheaten rooster and a duckwing rooster are so subtle that I honestly can't tell. But it's pretty obvious in the down color of chicks. Duckwing chicks have striped heads. Wheaten chicks are solid, pale gold.

Thank you again. You've given me some info to research (my fave way to pass the time). I'm sure in a few days I'll have more questions. I know what penciling is and I will figure out the rest

@junebuggena, I MAYYYYYY just end up adding a couple f/s layers this spring. Like literally 2. Bc I really wanted a silver penciled rock and barred rock in my flock and I just don't want to change my mind about that. Anyway, can't seem to find a silver penciled rock anywhere that I can get 1 pullet, so think 1 barred rock & 1 dark brahma. What would I get from a cross with these and my cinnamon queen/ golden comet (whatever you call a RIR roo/ riw pullet) rooster? TIA!
