Barred rock "Dad" and EE "mom" make ????

[nyice]

Will this produce "barred" feathering in the chicks (coming out of blue and green eggs), and if yes, what do I look for @ a few days old?
(we have 10 of these hatching next week but are only keeping a couple)

Show us pics as they mature

Interesting... I know nothing of chicken genetics

No, they will NOT be sexlinks! BR rooster will pass barring to both sexes in his offspring. You'll get Barred EEs.

We want pictures!!! I think, i could be wrong, you might get some Olive Eggers! Yeay!!!

We HOPE to get an Olive egger, but to be honest, we are flying by the seat of our pants as this is our first time hatching (I have been lurking every night to research, now I have a water wiggler, tactical flashlight, and a pretty good understanding about what is going on inside that shell, thank you everyone who has helped who don't even know it

)

Pictures will definately be in order (heck I will probably video it)

I'll be waiting!

I have an EEer that lays olive green eggs, very deep in color. Is that what an Olive Egger is? She is smaller than the other EE and lays smaller eggs. Guess what her name is? Olivia

~no really

Thats a great name for an olive egger. I would love to see a picture. Could she be a EE mix?

Here is Riley, one of my barred EE hens, a cross between my BR rooster and one of the blue Ameraucana hens.
