Anyone cross a bantam blue Cochin with a standard Legbar????

Please share pictures if you have done this cross before? Purely for entertainment as the rooster isn’t supposed to be with the bantams.

I have not, but would expect the chicks to all be barred (assuming the Legbar is the rooster based on your post) and either mostly blue or mostly black, probably with a bit of yellowish or reddish color leakage as they feather in. Their feet will be feathered, but probably less densely than the Cochin parent's feet. A small crest is likely as well, and the birds themselves will likely be somewhere in between the parents for size and shape once fully grown. Also, the females from that cross should lay blue or greenish eggs and the males will carry a copy of the gene for blue egg shells as well. Should make for some interesting birds!

Interesting! So very goofy looking chickens
