I have mostly gold Deathlayers but I have one silver East Frisian gull hen. But she only produces silver pullets because I have only gold Deathlayer roosters. I can usually tell her chicks because they are a different color at hatch. They turn a kinda dirty silver color that I don’t like . So I never keep them. I did keep her chick from the most recent hatch hoping that she would be a lemon rooster . She appears to be a Pullet. Not sure of what this color is. She is the bird in the first pic. The second pic are the colors of the rest of the hatch.

What? A gold rooster and silver hen produce gold pullets and gold/silver heterozygote cocks.

She never produces males.

She never produces males. Just gold or light lemon daughters.

The first hen looks like a regular gold. She is a little lighter than usual (probably because her mother is not selected for even gold coloration) but still within the gold spectrum.
The others are dilute.
