Look at that chart! Despite both of us being //amateurs// with this genetic stuff, graphic designers always find a way to be creative, don't they? ;)
It's interesting that that cross (whatever you choose to call it) produces an array of coloured chicks that can be female or male and sex-linked.

Ahhhh sorry for bumping an old thread, I'll take all penalties, but I'm actually curious about this. What would happen if these single-comb examples were bred over and over again like Rose suggested? Would it become a new breed.. or?
I have actually! I did it the old method, a straw with a horsehair running through it in a loop to lasso the testicle. Caponization helps in long term, as they can be very aggressive. However, since some people use Malays as a meat breed, I see how that could be helpful as well.
I would absolutely suggest Yokohama. I had a few hens and one rooster before. They layed like a B2 Bomber in the winter and were very quiet. I got very few complaints. They also come in beautiful patterns and are there to broody if you need it.
I've been on hiatus for a few months and have decided to come back. I sold all my previous chickens and have started new with one Empordanesa hen. I won't be active much, or post, but I will be around some areas of the forum. So good to be back!
