Breeding mottled to paint silkie

[Diana777]

Hello everyone, I’ve looked up everywhere on here plus I tried google and the chicken calculator and I can’t find what I would get if I cross a mottled silkie with a paint silkie. Does anyone know?

1/2 would be paints and 1/2 would be blacks.
All would carry mottling but it wouldn't be expressed

According to my current understanding.. Paint is one copy of dominant white crossed to black.. and Mottling is a recessive gene.. meaning it won't show unless 2 copies are present. So it *should* be no different (in the first generation cross) than paint crossed to whatever is the solid color of the motteled one.

This is my version/explanation of the same things said in post #2.

I’m kind of new at this, does that mean they will be split to mottled? So I can breed those paints back to a mottled and get mottled the second time around?

Yes. Split to mottled.
Breeding those paints to mottled will give you 50% paints and 50% blacks. 50% of each will be mottled and 50% split to mottled.
Of course that's all on the average.
Breeding the blacks back to mottled will give you 50% mottled and 50% split to mottled.
