Answer:

(attached Punnett square below)

100% of the offspring will have black feathers

0% of the offspring will have white feathers

Step-by-step explanation:

All the possible offspring have the genotype Bb, and since B (black) is dominant it will be the phenotype regardless of the presence of a b allele.

Therefore, all the offspring will be black (100%) and since none of the genotypes are bb there's no chance for white feathered chickens (0%)

hope this helps!
