That is wierd that the yellow shanked ones do not have pea combs or beards, I have hatched one hen with yellow legs, beard and pea comb. Unfortunately, she lays a light brown egg. What is your goal as far as feather color? I am assuming the Leghorns were rose combed? So the F2s will...
I have already began the work of creating a autosexing blue/green egg layer. I am breeding them to have both cushion and pea combs, and currently they are laying blue and green eggs.

I think one of the reasons it took this long is that they have single combs and lay blue eggs. So in addition to all the other aspects of creating the breed, he had to break the link between the pea comb and blue egg.
