My signal isn’t great here, so I’m having trouble opening the photos to get a good look to comment on gender. So for my post I’ll just be commenting under the assumption he is a black Ameraucana cockerel.This is my Ameraucana l! I got her (him?) from a local breeder and have no reason to suspect it’s an EE but you guys know best. I’m starts to suspect she is a he so my question is this….what type of colors/look would I get from the following crosses?
Barred rock
Silkie (blue frizzle or partridge)
Australorp (black)
ISA brown
I’m trying to learn all I can about the genetics and breeding and love the idea of introducing a blue egg gene. Thanks all!!
To barred plymouth rock, you will have sexlinks. The males will be barred, and the females will be solid black. The males will have pink shanks, likely with some trace of slate. (Barring restricts slate shanks.) The females will have white skin, likely with more slate on their shanks than the males. All will be muffed. Females will probably lay a minty green. They will all have modified pea combs.
To partridge silkie, you will get smooth feathered offspring. It will have a crest, be muffed. I’d expect nice blue eggs, perhaps with a slight green tint.
To blue frizzle silkie you will get 50% frizzled and 50% blue. So your ratios would look like: 25% hard black, 25% frizzled black, 25% hard blue, and 25% frizzled blue. They will all have a crest, be muffed. And again, I’d expect nice blue eggs, perhaps with a slight green tint.
To black australorp you will have all black offspring. Bluey-green eggs. Modified pea combs. Slate shanks.
To ISA brown not entirely sure. I’d expect funky patterns. Especially with the dominant white in there. You will get green eggs.
