What will I get Ligh Brown Leghorn over a Dark Brown Leghorn

[Doug the Chicken Man]

We have 2 Dark brown Leghorn hens and my daughter was given a Light brown Leghorn Rooster.

So the question is what will we get?

Light Brown leghorns are your usual WildType(e+) just how you find on Black Breasted Red OEGs.
Dark Brown Leghorns are WildType but with red enhancers(Mahogany, autosomal red and maybe a few undocumented ones). most of those Red Enhancers are dominant over their light brown counter parts(Mahogany MH for the DarkBrown and none mahogany for the Light Brown mh+)

so.. if you mix them together the F1s most likely be almost as dark as the Dark parent, but not as dark.

can I ask you a favor? can you please post some pics of them? I am doing a research on the effect of different pheomelanin enhancers on wildtype hen's salmon breast, google don't give me the pics I need

thanks
