What might these crosses give?

[Laodicia]

There are chicken color calculators out there i havent found any that are paticularly easy to use. But i bred a silver grey dorking over an ISA brown and i got a beautiful golden roo with some brown speckles on his chest. The isa browns red color will present as a light yellow or gold when crossed with some colors.

Thank you! And FYI these are true Araucanas and EE’s. They are pure bred to the Australian standard. Each country has their own standard and Australian Araucanas are not supposed to have a tail or muffs.

British standard is to also have a tail

this might help, doesnt alway apply but will do for most cases

Um okay? I live in Australia so it’s totally different.

Based on my experience with sussex mixes, you get the sussex pattern and colouring with mottling of whatever colour the mum is. Though with the black girl all her chicks might just turn out black, that's what happened with out australorp/sussex mixes

But mixes are always a game of chance, you might get something different!

Just as an aside and I am NOT an expert by any stretch... In order for a bird to be a true auracana, it must have no tail. If it has a tail, it is an EE. Not trying to step on any toes here... Just passing it on. As for what the birds will look like, there's no real way to know for sure unless you have the parents and parents of parents etc. They could be any combination of what you started with from all of one to all of the other or anything in between.

There are araucanas with tails..... but I do agree about trying to figure out how they will look.

If a white leghorn rooster mates with ameraucana hens, would the dominant white be the color of the offspring? Would the offspring also be better production chickens as a result of the leghorn rooster? And would the offspring be taller than either parent? I am planning on trying this cross and I currently don’t see a down side, so I am looking forward to this project. I appreciate any experiences or knowledge anyone has on this type of crossing.
Thanks
