Hello i have a question what would be the outcome of a black jersey giant rooster breed with a white leghorn hen

Also what would come with a brown leghorn rooster breed with a black jersey giant hen
 
Mixing those extremes, you're going to end up with a pretty mediocre bird, I'd think.

color wise, the dominant white Leghorn hen is going to give you basically white chicks. They'll have flecks of black, similar to say an Austra white. Size should be mid, and I'm thinking the lower production of the Giant is going to pull down the production of the offspring quite a bit.

Color wise from the brown Leghorn, you'll get mostly black chicks with red/brown leakage. Otherwise as above.

Were I you, I'd breed the Leghorns together and the Giants together, not intermixing. Those breeds are just so far apart, I'm thinking they won't complement each other at all, they'll just cause you to lose the good traits of each breed.
 
So I guess or won't make a jumbo chicken that has good egg production........
