Paint silkie ROO X Chocolate silkie HEN = ?

[Cookiebird]

I have a paint rooster and I am purchasing 2 Chocolate pullets. What colors will I get from this cross? Thank you.

Paint is based on dominant white. I believe you will get predominantly white offspring. Possibly with some flecks of black or maybe brown.
Hopefully the more genetically savvy will chime in.

Paint is Dominant White on Black (I believe just one dominant white gene, het for dominant white) and Chocolate is sex linked, so you would end up with most likely-

50% Paint, 50% Black (solid/self), Cockerels split for Chocolate

Thank you. Would it be a possibility to get a chocolate paint by chance? Just curious...

Not in the first generation. Now, if the sexes of the birds was swapped, you would.

Am I reading that if the female was paint and the male chocolate, then the offspring would be chocolate paint?

Half the pullets would be chocolate paints. The other half would be chocolates.
Half the cockerels would be paints and the other half blacks. All cockerels would carry one chocolate gene.

Okay, thank you! I appreciate it.
