Yes, he should be able to mate with all 5 hens in a group.

If it gave you a blue chick, then it definitely can give non-white chicks. Then it is probably a Leghorn mix of some kind, rather than a pure White Leghorn. Purebred White Leghorns generally have a combination of dominant genes that cause all chicks to be solid black, and then Dominant White to...

With that rooster, you will not get any buff colored chicks. I am assuming he has two copies of the Silver gene, based on both his appearance and what is normal in Light Brahmas even when they are poor quality. When he has two Silver genes, he gives one to each chick. Because Silver is dominant...

You get white chicks, probably with a few black dots here and there. Feathered feet and pea combs, just like from the other crosses, but chicks with a Leghorn mother may grow up to have larger combs than chicks with other mothers.

The mostly-black hen should give chicks that are about the same color she is. The blue hen (gray all over) should give blue chicks and black chicks. Of course the Light Brahma hen will give Light Brahma chicks. All chicks should have pea combs (nice tidy pea combs if both parents have pea...

If you use that hen with the black tail, all of the chicks will be colored similar to your rooster (pattern of black and white.) As the chicks grow up, the "white" may look yellowish and may have some leakage of red or gold color, rather than the clean white appearance shown by the current Light...

Yes, chicks should have pea combs and feathered legs. The "pea combs" of the chicks will probably be larger than the combs of pure Brahmas, and may look blobby or oddly shaped. The chicks' leg feathering will probably be less than the amount their father has. Regarding color: About half the...
