Trying to get an idea of what possible chicks we could produce from these two. Rooster is a barred rock (rooster) and EE (hen) cross. Hen is an EE. The rooster obviously has EE plumage leakage. What would be the odds of chicks hatched from these two would also have plumage leakage, specifically hens? Or would all of the chicks still be predominantly barred without any leakage?

About half the chicks would get barring and about half wouldn't.
About half wouldn't get the extended black gene from rooster so would be more EE patterned.
Other half would look more like rooster. Hens the same but females usually show very little leakage compared to males.
 
You would have the possibility for both hens and roosters that have the EE pattern but with the silver (white) gene. It’s also possible to get the EE pattern with barring.
