Mottle Silkie Genetics

[Chickenlady0512]

Hello everyone! I am looking for some insight on how mottled silkie genetics work. I have chocolate mottled, blue mottled, black mottled, and mauve mottled silkie chicks. I am wanting to breed them. What would I get if I bred these variations together?

Chocolate male x mottled female = black sons, chocolate daughters.
Mottled male x chocolate female = black offspring
Blue x mottled = black and blue offspring
Mauve Male x mottled female = black and blue sons, chocolate and muave daughters
Mottled male x muave female = black and blue offspring

I'm kind of lost about the mottled part.
Are any of these chicks mottled?

I am so sorry!! Yes all these chicks are mottled!

Chocolate male x mottled female = black sons, chocolate daughters.
Mottled male x chocolate female = black offspring
Blue x mottled = black and blue offspring
Mauve Male x mottled female = black and blue sons, chocolate and muave daughters
Mottled male x muave female = black and blue offspring

I did not type my question out right! I am so sorry! All my chicks are mottled already!

Since everything is mottled all the offspring will be mottled. I'll leave the mottled part out to save typing.
Also I'll post rooster x hen throughout to save typing rooster and hen out everytime.

Chocolate x blue.....Black carrying Chocolate & blue carrying Chocolate cockerels, chocolate & mauve pullets
Chocolate x black..... black carrying Chocolate cockerels, chocolate pullets
Chocolate x mauve..... Chocolate & mauve cockerels, chocolate & mauve pullets

Mauve x black.....Black carrying Chocolate & blue carrying Chocolate cockerels, chocolate & mauve pullets

It's late but I think that's everything and correct

Just an FYI, if you need to sell chicks or grownups at any point, the mauve seems to be a less popular color. I don't think anyone breeds for it on purpose, it's just a result of having chocolate and blue in the same pen.
Also, splash and mottled don't complement each other well.
Overall, black and chocolate mottled look the best to the most people (aka customers) because of the sharp contrast.

Thank you so so much!!!

Would I not get blue mottled and mauve mottled babies with blue mottled over mauve mottled?

Would I not get blue mottled and mauve mottled babies with blue mottled over mauve mottled?

Yep
You'd just get blue, black, and splash mottled
