What will I get

what will I get with chocolate cuckoo Orp rooster over Bielefelder hens ?

The roo is from a solid chocolate hen and a dbl barred too.

The father is single-barred, as is their mother, as females only have one slot for the gene. Whilst his daughters will be single-barred, his sons may be either single- or double-barred. The double-barred offspring will appear lighter than the single-.

I believe Bielefelder are e+ wildtype at the e-locus. Your Orp ought to be extended black, which is dominant; the offspring will be extended black with groundcolour leakage. We can't see the fathers groundcolour, so while the hens will donate gold, the father may be silver, gold, or both.

Chocolate is sex-linked recessive; whilst males require two copies of the gene in order for it to express, females require only one. All his sons will be black, daughters chocolate.

Thank you

Any difference if I cover my CCO hen with my Biel roo?

What about leg color and feathering?

 

[Sneebsey]

If your bielefelder cockerel is pure for barring, so will all of his offspring with a barred hen. Males will be double-barred, females single-.

As females can only pass chocolate to her sons, her daughters will all be black. This is also the case for the male offspring, who will need two copies of the gene in order for its expression. Leakage will express as in the reverse cross, however as we see the cockerel is gold based, all his daughters will be too. If the hen is silver based, and I imagine this is the case for a good cuckoo bird, she will pass silver to her sons, who will be S/s+, silver/gold. Red sex-links, though it will be hard to tell in the chick down.

White skin/legs are dominant over yellow. Neither parent breed ought to have leg feathering, I believe, though I'm not terribly familiar with Bielefelder, past the autosexing aspects.
