I already knew of the calculator but not the other link so that was very helpful thank you!
If you don’t know then why are you guessing? How is that helpful?just a guess heck if i know
I know that mottling in Speckled Sussex is recessive so his mottling won’t show up if I bred him with many of the breeds I have,but I do have both Speckled Sussex and Ancona hens I could pair with him.If I pair him with the Ancona’s will the resulting babies be mottled?or do Ancona’s have a different mottling?
well I guessed before the pic of the roo came through, before then I thought i WAS being helpful and now i'm just invested in the outcomeIf you don’t know then why are you guessing? How is that helpful?

One can always learn and google is a good place to start!Googling an answer isn't guessing. And as we all know, everything you read or see on the internet isn't true. Better to let the people with real knowledge about genetics help out with stuff like this. I don't even try if it's not something easy like a gene diluting Black (Blue, Chocolate, Lavender). Patterns always mess me up.

Yes, but unfortunately a lot of things on google aren't true. Nothing wrong with trying to help but copying and pasting off google generally isn't helpful. If it were that simple I'm sure OP would have done that instead of coming here to try and get answers.One can always learn and google is a good place to start!
X2 mottling will be expressed.Yes, Speckled Sussex x Ancona should show mottling.
There's just one mottling gene, so any mottled bird can be bred to any other mottled bird and get mottled offspring.
Well, technically there are several alleles at the mottling locus. But not-mottled is dominant over all the other forms, and you get some kind of mottling as long as not-mottled is absent. So for most purposes, you can treat "mottled" as a recessive gene that's the same in all mottled chickens. (Even when they are called Speckled Sussex or Spangled Cornish or Mottled Ancona or Millie Fleur d'Uccle or Golden Neck Old English Game Bantam. Or Pearl or Porcelain or... )
