What genetics do these chickens have?

[Livia Ammon]

I had a pretty black and white roo with cream feathers on his hackles, and bred him against an orange hen with black Colombian markings. They are both Whiting True Blues. I have 6 of their offspring in an incubator ready to hatch, but I can’t contain my curiosity about what color(s) they will be. Also, is there a name for the color of rooster I have?

Your rooster looks like he's heterozygous for silver and gold. Many people call this color "golden." I usually call it yellow so folks don't get it confused with gold. So he's "yellow quail." You could call him "golden quail," or "gilver quail" or whatever you like. Quail is a melanized columbian color. The hen is either a dark gold columbian of a very light red columbian. It's hard to say but for simplicity's sake I will say she is gold columbian.
I expect these birds will produce gold quail and "yellow" quail sons and gold quail and silver quail daughters. They also may produce gold columbian, yellow columbian, gold columbian, and silver columbian daughters. They might produce others. They definitely have some hidden genetics.

Wow! Thanks! I will update when their babies hatch and feather out. They should be hatching tomorrow (apr 23), so any time now!
