For all the hens:
Chicks sired by the Cream Legbar rooster will probably have a small crest, and will have a blue egg gene (so daughters will lay blue or green eggs).

Regarding color of the chicks:
1] Bielefelder
Bielefelders are pretty much the same color as Cream Legbars, so chicks will be that color too (minor variations in the exact shade of gold or cream involved.) These chicks will be autosexing, just like purebred Cream Legbars or purebred Bielefelders. But you will only be able to sex them if you know which chicks hatch from the Bielefelder eggs. The chicks from most of the other hens will be similar enough to cause confusion, if they are all mixed together.

2] Buff Orpington 3] Buff Orpington/Speckled Sussex mix 4] Speckled Sussex
7] Swedish Flower
From these four kinds of hens, chicks will probably look similar to Cream Legbars in color. They will not be autosexing, because males will be just as dark as the females.

5] Cinnamon Queen
Assuming the Cinnamon Queen is red or gold with a white tail, some chicks will look like chicks from the previous few hens, other chicks will be like that except with white in place of all the black areas. Those chicks will look overall lighter, because of having more white and little or no black, but the color difference can NOT be used for sexing these chicks. It can appear in males and in females.

(I've seen hatcheries sell "Cinnamon Queen" with slightly different traits, which is why I stated what I am assuming about her coloring.)

6] Black Copper Marans
Chicks will be colored similar to Black Copper Marans, except that they will have white barring across the other colors in the feathers.
