Roosters are light and black brahmas.
Hens are cream legbars.

Roosters are light and black brahmas.
Hens are cream legbars.

From the black rooster, probably black daughters, and black sons with white barring.

From the light rooster, probably daughters that look a fair bit like him, and sons that look much like him but have white barring across the black areas (so the sons will be colored much like a Delaware.)

All chicks have a chance of showing red/gold leakage as they grow up, especially in the shoulders of males and maybe the breasts of females.

From both roosters, I would expect chicks to have pea combs and feathered feet. Because Cream Legbars are crested, I would expect all chicks to show small crests as well.

Thank u so much will they lay blue/green eggs?

Assuming each hen has two copies of the blue egg gene, every chick will inherit one, so all females will lay blue or green eggs. This is supposed to be the case with purebred Cream Legbars.

But if any of the hens has just one blue egg gene, she will give that to half her chicks, and the other half will inherit the not-blue egg gene. That would mean some daughters lay brown eggs.

If any of the hens lays brown eggs, then all her daughters will lay brown eggs as well. I imagine you would already know if any hens lay brown eggs.
