black leghorn rooster X white leghorn hen

[kerri10]

i have bred a purebreed black leghorn rooster with a purebred white leghorn hen resulting in two white leghorn pullets with few black speckles not to noticeable. my question is if i breed these pullets with a mottled leghorn rooster what colour offspring will i get ???? would like to add some coloured leghorns to my flock.
