Solution

The expected phenotype ratios in the offspring would be 1 black : 2 checkered : 1 white. This is because when two checkered chickens reproduce, each offspring has a 25% chance of inheriting two black feather alleles (resulting in a black chicken), a 50% chance of inheriting one black feather allele and one white feather allele (resulting in a checkered chicken), and a 25% chance of inheriting two white feather alleles (resulting in a white chicken).
