Australorp Cross

[Ali Gator]

I am crossing a Black Australorp hen with an Olive Egger rooster. What breed will I get? The eggs have not hatched yet and the rooster is an f2

You won’t get a breed, you’ll get a chicken with mixed genetics, what we call a mutt. I don’t know what genetics your rooster has but the odds are pretty good the chicks will all be black.

You'll get mixed breed birds. Probably mostly black, some brown egg layers and some olive/green.
