Coloured egg crosses .

[Hazel feather]

Hi everyone, I’ve decided I’m going to cross my cream legbar roo to some of my hens in the hopes of colourful eggs , I’m not sure what the crosses are going to look like so if anyone has any ideas I’d love to know ! I’d also love to know what egg colours the offspring could lay !

Ccl roo over :

Olive egger ( cuckoo Marans x ccl )
Splash laced red Wyandotte
Light / Colombian Brahma
Black copper Marans
Welsummer
Lavender ee ( she lays a blue / green egg)

Thanks in advance !

They should all lay green eggs. The shade of green will vary.

Thank you for your reply ! I’d be delighted if they lay green !

Adding to this, if you wish to identify the layer:

Crosses with dark layers, like marans, will produce olive hues.
Wyandottes x CCL will produce sage/light greens.
Easter Egger x CCL will likely produce blue/seafoam eggs.

Here's an illustrative overview on genetics. First figure features a rooster with blue egg genes, like your CCL: https://silverhomestead.com/how-to-breed-blue-green-egg-layers/

Egg shells are either white (recessive) or blue (dominant). Brown is a tint overlay.
