Will chicks with one auto-sexing parent also auto-sex?

Hey everyone, just curious if anyone knows the answer to that! I lost my Norwegian Jaerhon rooster a few months back, so I've got the hen in with my Icelandic breeding pair. I've been throwing all her eggs into the 'bator, and I'm curious if I can expect the chicks to be auto-sexing or not.

I think it would really depend on the mix and would not be an exact science.

So far all the chicks are hatching dark and the same colour, with some having a white dot on their heads and others just solid colour on their heads. I think it's pretty safe to say that the trait is being passed on! Now the waiting game to see if the white dots are the boys or the girls! In the purebred NJ, the males have a white full hood while the females have a white patch, so my guess is the white spotted ones in the cross are the boys

Normally not, but I don't know what would happen with your breed
