Breeding Chart

 The Coronation Sussex have lavender genetics. The following chart should help explain what you can expect if you cross Coronation Sussex with Light Sussex. Just substitute Lavender with Coronation and Light Sussex with Black. The chicks of the first cross between a Coronation and a Light Sussex would all visually look like a Light Sussex, but would all have a Lavender recessive gene (split). The chart should help explain this. Here is a link with graphics that might help as well. 

If you mate:

Lavender X Lavender = 100% Lavender offspring
Lavender X Split = 50% Lavender, 50% Split offspring
Lavender X Black = 100% Split offspring
Split X Black = 50% Split, 50% Black offspring
Split X Split = 25% Lavender, 50% Split, 25% Black offspring

The Blue gene in Blue Laced Red Wyandottes does not breed true. There are 3 colors of BLR Wyandottes: Black, Blue & Splash. The following chart may help explain how the different color genes work with different combinations. Here is also the link with graphics that might help you visualize it better.

If you mate: 

Blue X Blue = 50% Blue, 25% Black, 25% Splash

Blue X Splash = 50% Blue, 50% Splash 

Blue X Black = 50% Blue, 50% Black

Splash X Black = 100% Blue  

Black X Black = 100% Black 

Splash X Splash = 100% Splash

The Blue gene in the Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas does not breed true either. There are also 3 colors of Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas: Wheaten, Blue Wheaten & Splash Wheaten. The following chart may help explain how the different color genes work with different combinations.

If you mate:

Blue Wheaten X Blue Wheaten = 50% Blue Wheaten, 25% Wheaten, 25% Splash Wheaten

Blue Wheaten X Splash Wheaten = 50% Blue Wheaten, 50% Splash Wheaten

Blue Wheaten X Wheaten = 50% Blue Wheaten, 50% Wheaten

Splash Wheaten X Wheaten = 100% Blue Wheaten 

Wheaten X Wheaten = 100% Wheaten

Splash Wheaten X Splash Wheaten= 100% Splash Wheaten

This is based on 100 chicks. When working with smaller numbers it is possible to have varying results.
