The Easter egger’s pattern wasn’t pure extended black, so the lacing was able to come through.

It depends on your goals. Coloration of your cockerel (with barring) Your cockerel (without barring) Red (without barring) Red (with barring) (Not my pics) All of these roosters are pure for the gold gene. Barring is dominant, so if you cull all the chickens you have with barring, it...

Chickens can be red with white barring. That cockerel was pure for gold.

The cockerel on the left doesn’t have the silver gene, those white feathers are part of a juvenile pattern that will disappear as he grows.

If you want some of the coloring of the top bird, you’re going to have to breed forward some of the birds with barring (without barring, the top bird looks just like a Hoover “rainbow”).

That hen isn’t silver or a silver/gold split. She is pure for gold, since she has red tones and no white.

Ugly is silver/gold split, he will produce both silver and gold offspring (if paired with a gold hen).

Ugly White doesn’t have barring, if he did it would be much more obvious due to the dominant nature of the gene.

Yes, that’s correct.

The white would be becoming red, SLWs have a different gene than dominant white- silver. I definitely see columbian influence in this pullet.

That last one actually looks like a pullet to me (though I could be wrong). I agree with @NatJ that the first one is likely a cockerel. 2nd also looks like a pullet.

All the “misses” in your recent photos appear to be cockerels. The red and white one does have dominant white.

I bet he’ll look a lot like this when he gets his adult feathering:(Not my picture.)

The “WTF” cockerel looks pretty similar to the male pattern of gold/silver split partridge, is he a Brahma mix?

Overcast is a confirmed wyandotte mix, it has a rose or walnut (rose x pea) comb!

You want the bumpy rose comb? If you haven’t got one like that yet it’s probably because that wyandotte hasn’t passed on the gene to her offspring. It’s just a variation of the rose comb.

What do you like? The comb/pattern?

Have the wyandottes produced any confirmed chicks yet? I haven’t seen any with rose combs in your pictures.

You could keep a couple Brahma mix pullets instead of the Brahma mix cockerel. They should all have the same potential to have penciled offspring, since they’re all first generation Brahma crosses.

I’ll try to give you the breeding possibilities for these birds. 1- a black pullet with the silver gene 2- a blue silver/gold split single barred cockerel 3- a single barred black cockerel, not sure if he’s pure for silver (silver/silver) or silver/gold 4- a blue pullet, not sure if she’s...
