Crele and partridge English Orpington breeding genetics

[Dawnmac]

I’m trying to wrap my head over genetics. I have new crele and partridge English Orpington chicks from a breeder. I would like to know if I put a partridge rooster over a crele hen or a crele rooster over a partridge hen what would I have if they’re pullets? I really only would like to keep one rooster if possible. I also understand partridge’s come from crele. If anyone has pictures would be great and thank you.

Partridge rooster over crele hen: single barred crele cockerels, partridge pullets (sexlinked.)
The second cross is dependent on if your rooster is single or double barred.

Double barred Crele rooster over partridge hens: crele chicks.
All of the crele chicks would be single barred. Since barring is a sexlinked gene, females can only have one copy of the barring gene. But males also will have one copy, even though they can have two.

Single barred crele rooster over partridge hens: single barred crele and partridge chicks.

Single barring is darker than double barring.

Bonus: Single barred crele rooster over crele hens: Single and double barred crele cockerels, crele and partridge pullets.

Partridge does NOT come from Crele nor vice versa. Breeding your Crele to partridge will make a genetic mess. Crele is created by wild type/BBR e+/e+ to barred B/B. Partridge is on eb/eb with Pg/Pg.

In Orpingtons the word "crele" often describes Barred Partridge.

However, if these crele hens they describe do have red breasts then they are duckwing based.
