I have a barred EE hen and a barred EE rooster. Both have beards and muffs. And I'm wanting to create a barred(cuckoo) olive egger with muffs, a beard, and feather legged. What would be the best marans to cross with. My EE roo over a black copper, splash, blue, or golden cuckoo hen or a golden cuckoo roo over my EE hen? I really don't know a lot about genetics but I think that beards, muffs, and feathered shanks are dominant so would a chicks have my traits or would it take a while?
