What might these crosses give?

[jwyles]

Getting a cinnamon queen rooster. He will be able to breed with: salmon faverolle hen, lavender Ameraucana hen, EE (one blue wheaten one splash w/ gold laced breast) FBCM, light brahma & splash F1 OE (marans/ Ameraucana cross). Anyone know what I could expect-as far as looks-from the offspring? TIA

He'll likely have a single dominant white gene, so about half his offspring will inherit that. And he'll have a single copy of the silver gene, so about half his offspring will be silver and the other half will be red/gold.
As for the hens -
The Salmon faverolle is silver, so most of the offspring from that pairing should be silver. Any red/gold would be female. The muffs/beard, feathered legs, white skin and five toes are all dominant.
The lavender Ameraucana should produce solid black chicks, or white if they get dad's dominant white. All will be split for lavender, but it's recessive and will not express. Muffs/beard, white skin, and pea comb are dominant.
Easter Eggers are anybody's guess. Too many possible variables.
FBCM should produce birchen offspring 50% silver, 50% red/gold. The feathered legs and white skin are dominant.
Light Brahma, like the faverolle, has the potential for sexlinks. Any red/gold chicks would be female. About half the female chicks will be silver, like their brothers, so you will have to wait a few weeks to sex the silver chicks. The pea comb and feathered legs are dominant.
Too many variables for the OE, but all offspring should inherit a Blue gene.

That is so much amazing information right there! Thank you so much! So when you say "silver" (as in what might be produced by the brahma and faverolle) is that white or is that like the silver coloring from a silver dorking, silver leghorn, etc?

Silver like silver leghorns.
Silver leghorns are silver with duckwing/wild type.
Brown leghorns are gold with duckwing/wild type.
That is just an example of silver vs gold on that pattern.
Silver will change a lot of different patterns when you put it in the place of gold. Silver basically takes the red/buff/gold colors out and leaves those places white.

Ok that makes sense. Does that mean the salmon faverolle cross offspring may be solid white or appear the "salmon" color of the mom or like a silver duckwing. I'm sorry if that's what you just answered. (Bear with me!) trying to learn and be sure I understand. I don't know why (and I'm not experienced) I was thinking salmon faverolle rooster were like gold duckwing. TIA

SF are silver Wheaton. So no duckwing.
There are a lot of Wheaton patterned breeds but most are gold and Wheaton. Off hand I don't know of a breed that has silver and Wheaton besides the SF.
Silver/gold is sex linked.
I don't want to wrap my brain around crossing breeds right now so going by what junebuggena posted. The rooster has one silver gene and one gold gene. He can g pass either to his offspring. Your SF has two copies of silver. She can only pass hers to her sons so all male chicks will get one silver gene from mom and either a silver or a gold from father.
All female chicks will get either silver or gold from their dad and will be silver or gold. Half male chicks will be pure silver (two genes for silver) and half will be silver/gold. Silver is dominate so they are said to look silver and be carrying the gold unseen. I've been crossing silver and gold and the silver/gold males tend to show yellowish instead of the pure white in hackles and saddle.

Ohhhh!!!!! That's very helpful and informative. Thank you very very much. This is all so interesting to me. I really hope I understand it like you guys do one day. Again, thanks.

Correction. Hens can only have one silver gene to pass. It's the males that can be SS, ss, or Ss. Females can only be S or s.

Silver is ground color. In Brahmas, its the difference between Buff and Light. Buff is red/gold ground color, Light is silver ground color. White is something different. The dominant white that your rooster will have, only acts on black pigment. Silver acts on red/gold.

I really do understand that part. The salmon faverolle I think was really throwing me off thinking of it as silver bc of the fact that they have a beige light tan coloring.
