So, my rooster, Mitchell just passed away and he has a single copy of barring. I have a couple questions about the colorations of the chicks that would be his potentially. I have a sapphire gem which is a mix of a barred rock hen and a blue andalusian rooster. So the offspring of MistyxMitchell would have 2 copies of barring correct? But if Romeo my welsummer was to father some of the eggs they would also have barring but what would the coloration be? Since I'm gonna guess that MxM would be blue barred. But the part that now gets confusing is for the EE eggs. I have one other rooster.. my Easter Egger, Silvia. He kind of has some sort of laced pattern with orange and lavender but how would I tell Silvia apart from Romeo if they fathered those eggs? The EE hens I have also have fluffy cheeks and so does my roo. The particular hen that will mother the eggs (in photo below next to Mitchell)
