What are the most likely percentages for offspring of two red/white-feather chicken parents?

Punnett Square Cross for Two RW Chickens

When two red/white-feather chicken parents are crossed, the offspring possibilities can be predicted using a Punnett square. In this case, the red feather gene (R) is dominant over the white feather gene (W). The genotypes of the two parents are therefore RW.

The possible combinations in the Punnett square are:

R (red) from the father crossed with W (white) from the mother, resulting in RW (red/white).

W (white) from the father crossed with R (red) from the mother, resulting in RW (red/white).

R (red) from both parents, resulting in RR (red).

W (white) from both parents, resulting in WW (white).

Based on the Punnett square cross, the most likely percentages for the offspring of two red/white-feather chicken parents are:

• 25% white-feather chickens
• 25% red-feather chickens
• 50% red/white-feather chickens
