Does anyone know what type of chicken a Bielefelder rooster crossed with a Leghorn would produce? Color? Egg production?

Thanks! I've been wavering between California White and Pearl White and White Leghorn to add to my flock. Then I wondered whether to just hatch my friendly, non-flighty Leghorn's eggs from a Bielefelder rooster. I understand you are an expert in Leghorns. Which would you recommend?What color Leghorn?
No way of knowing production for sure. I'd imagine pretty decent. Better then a Biel but not as well as a pure Leghorn.
So how did she turn out? I have a bunch of white leghorn chicks with a bielefeder roo hatching right now- so far they are white.We have a Bielefelder leghorn cross chick. She is the sweetest just like a large cuddle teddy bear. Doesn't porch at anyone even the tinyest! I'm also curious what the cross will overgrowing look like when she's grown, color of egg, and how often... And will she protect the littles ones she grew up with![]()
How did yours turn out? I just hatched my white hen and biel roo about 7 weeks ago...they all (5) came out white with black spots...i kept two and one of them is smaller than the other. One is huge but has no signs of being a rooster other than size. Is it possible that the Biel genes just made them bigger than my pure leghorn hens?So how did she turn out?
