The EE cockerel has one copy of the barring gene, which is dominant, so half his offspring will be barred. The mottling (white spots) that speckled sussex have, on the other hand, is recessive, so won’t show up in first generation crosses. Your EE pullets have the blue gene, so half their offspring will be blue.
