I recently hatched some of my silver deathlayer hen's eggs. She is covered under my BCM roo. Any suggestions on what chicks will look like when feathered out? I have attached pics of what they currently look like and also mom.

The hen's pattern is silver autosomal barred.
The offspring will be sex linked
Sons will be heterozygous for gold and silver which means they will be mostly silver with a little yellow and red, daughters will be red.
So sons will be yellow incomplete autosomal barred and daughters will be red incomplete autosomal barred.
By incomplete I mean the pattern will be less defined and more black.
