crested cream legbar and blue australorp rooster crosses with other breeds, what can I expect?

[drangle]

Hello everyone! I am new to the chicken game and I am starting my own back yard flock. I am interested in making cross breed chickens and was wonder if any of you could help me guess what the off spring might look like from my 2 roosters on my different hens.

So the roosters I have are blue australorps and crested cream legbar (might be goldedn crele rather than cream).
The hens I have to breed to are Blue australorps, black australorps, buff orpingtons, and crested cream legbar.

I know the australorp parings will result in blur or black birds what might I expect from the other crosses? All feed back/advice is welcomed and appreciated! I am hoping to get some neat looking birds and colorful eggs going in my flock.

Just a bunch of barn yard mixes, most of the chicks will be black.

Blue x Blue can also make Splash as well as blue and black.

My understanding is still limited, but I *think* that you will have mostly solid birds in blue or black with some splash and some barred. The barred birds might have blue instead of black in their barring.

Crossing mixes with each other in the second generation can sometimes bring out interesting patterns that were hiding in recessive genes.

I am thinking the blue aust x CCL f1 and the buff orp X CCL f1 would make some very interesting chicks when crossed together

Let me know what the Blue Australorp Roo x Legbars turn out to look like I have 2 Blue Australorp Roos added them for egg advancement in my other breeds.

Will do. I plan on crossing the ccl with both Australorp and buff Orpington’s this year. They are young though probably won’t be able to hatch anything out until this summer

as my chooks are getting closer to breeding age I was wondering if there would be a difference in outcomes between Blue Aust x CCL VS. CCL x Blue Aust?

I am thinking one will result in barred males and the other barred females or will everything be barred?
