Without knowing how many chickens show these traits, I would say the dominant allele, because if a chicken does not show the trait, then it does not have it, so it would be easy to identify and breed out. It would also be easier to know if you had actually gotten rid of the dominant trait.
The answer is that The difference is that dominant dominates, and recessive is dominated.
No! they are different
Dominate
Reading a punnet square is much like reading a grid map. Start with one finger on the father allele and one on the mother allele and find where they meet in the middle, the combination of both the father allele and the mother allele will give you the genotype. Repeat for all four middle squares. In all punnet squares, the dominate gene is the capital letter (e.g R) and the recessive gene is the normal letter (e.g r). When two dominate alleles show (RR) the phenotype will show the dominate gene. When one dominate and one recessive allele show the dominate gene will still show (Rr), in females they call it them a carrier female because they carry the recessive allele as well. When two recessive alleles show (rr) the recessive feature will show in the phenotype.
recessive alleles get masked to show the difference in a dominant gene and a recessive gene. the dominate genes masks the recessive genes to show that the dominate gene is more dominate or more likely to be the outcome than the reccessive gene but the masked gene is not always recessive.

Each gene has a dominate and recessive allele, so there are two types of alleles in each gene. The dominate allele is stronger than the recessive allele unless there are two recessive alleles.
The answer is that The difference is that dominant dominates, and recessive is dominated.
You need two recessive alleles to get their trait, but only one dominant allele to get that trait. A dominant allele basically overrides a recessive one if they are together, but the recessive gene can show up in offspring.
Alleles are neither entirely recessive nor entirely dominate. An allele is any one of a number of alternative forms of the same gene on a chromosome.For example: say a flower only blooms either red or white flowers. There is a different allele for each color-- a red allele and a white allele. Now, one color may be dominate over the other recessive gene. For example, if the red color was dominate and the white color was recessive, then those certain alleles would be dominate and recessive, respectively. But alleles in general cannot be either recessive or dominate. It depends on the gene and it depends on the trait.
If an individual has one recessive allele and one dominant allele, they are known as heterozygous. The dominant trait will be expressed.
No! they are different
Dominate
A dominant allele could be right handedness, or a straight hairline. A recessive allele could be freckles, a widows peak, clef chin, or left handedness.
The recessive form of a gene, called a recessive allele, will not be expressed in the presence of the dominant form of the gene, called a dominant allele.
