Hello all. I was hoping to pick some brains on crosses.

I had 2 roosters, one easter egger and one easter egger -barred cross. What eggs colors could I possibly get if they breed to my Cuckoo maran hen (lays light brown eggs), or my Ameraucana x WTB hen (lays blue eggs) , or my Ameraucana ee (lays olive eggs), or my supossed to be full White leghorn (that lays little blue eggs) lol.

Thanks in advance, I know somebody out there has more knowledge of the crosses than I do. Lol. Just trying to decide if I want to put any more in the incubator for now.

Roo pics attached.

Essentially you'd be breeding more EEs.

With the crosses you've listed you'll at least get green/olive, blue, and light blue/tinted.

With the pea comb on both roosters, I'd expect it to be unlikely you'd get brown eggs, but maybe on the more olive side of green than true green depending on actual genetics.

Interested to see if you decided to incubate more eggs and if you did, what was final outcome, eg. egg colour of the offspring.

Do you have photos?

Thanks
