Silverrudds Blue Rooster + Whiting Creole hens

[CaliTexan]

I heard about the legbar mixed with the SRB. (Called ice cream bars) but I'm going to try breeding Whiting Creole hens to my SRB rooster. Because Whiting Creole is a high production blue egg layer. Has anyone tried this? I ordered some Whiting Creole laying hens from whiting farms hatchery. And I have a blue SRB rooster. Since they look similar to legbar would they be sexed at hatch? Anyone have knowledge of this possible cross and what eggs I should expect? The first picture is my SRB rooster. The attached picture is the Whiting Creole and the eggs it might lay. A range from blue to dark teal.

I'm unfamiliar with whiting creole, what are they mixed from?

They are a breed from Whiting's farm hatchery in Colorado. Here's their blurb about them.

Ok, so they're just Easter eggers. With a silver rudd roo, the hen chicks will likely lay blue on mint eggs

The combs would be different. They bred the pea comb into the creole. I’m not sure about sexing at hatch. The creole has higher production than the SRB so that would go down.

In my limited understanding the birchen in the SSB might complicate autosexing.

For those who wished for both high yield CLs and autosexing WTBs. Dr. Whiting is the man with the plan. Even though I love the WTB smooth head streamlined look, with the fantastic feathers.

I wonder if they are double blue genetics like the wtbs. Breeding to Silverudds should preserve that if so.
