i am hatching some blue andalusians crossed with a white leghorn . they are hatching out now i got 1 blue and one white so far. my question is what color will they end up as full grown birds. if born blue will they stay blue?

Interesting! I'd love to know how much of what colors you end up getting.

i got 2 blue and 1 white as of now.. i hope they stay blue.

Most likely they will! Just keep an eye out on their wing feathers, if they stay blue, they will be blue.

We tried crossing white Leghorns gals to Buff, and Blue Wheaton roosters and got alot of white with black odd feathers on their bodies. Beautiful birds but if we cross those offsprings to a Blue roo, we would get at least half blues and have splashes.

Good luck!

this is the three i got so far . i collected the eggs over a 2 week time.so they will hatch at differnt times. the hen was realy sick and i wanted some to keep her going. i know shes smiling from chicken heaven.

Very interesting and something I have thought about doing. I have a rescue mission Leghorn Roo and a few Andalusian hens may be worth a shot this spring.
