What will be the results

[Ryder]

Im a person that likes hatching a variety of chicks not just one certain breed

I have a 1/2 French Cuckoo Maran and the other half is French Black Maran Rooster But he has cuckoo feather except his one black shiny curly feather on his tail.

I wanting to breed him with a French Wheaten Maran

But does anyone know what the results would be since the gentics will be

12.5% - Cuckoo Maran
12.5% - Black Maran
50% - Wheaten Maran

That's only 75% of a chicken.

EDT: Your rooster has the dominant genetics. He's got two copies of extended black, one from each side. That'll cover the wheaten coloration, so his chicks'll be black.
He also has a single copy of the barring gene. Since he's got both barred and non-barred genes, he'll pass one or the other to his offspring. Half'll be barred, and half won't.

So you'll have messy barred and black chickens, and from my experience with a similar cross, I'm predicting that the females will have red chests or necks, and the males will probably have red leakage in the shoulders.

sorry did the math wrong
Cuckoo 25%
Black 25%
Wheaten 50%

what was your cross?

 

[sylviethecochin]

what was your cross?

RIR (wheaten base w/columbian) and australorp. RIR and Barred Rock. RIR and random black mutt. Blue (which is black with one different gene) and wheaten.

My family wasn't big on breed purity of the laying flock when I was a kid, and I continue to disregard it.

Gentics have spark an intrest in me lately I have a Ameraucana hen. If I breed her with the rooster that has half cuckoo and half black. What would be the hen chicks colors.

 

[sylviethecochin]

Beats me as I have no idea behind the genetics of the above hen. If you can tell us any of her heritage, that would be very helpful.
