Hi everyone!

I don't have pics yet as my hen is still sitting on eggs but I have a question. I have a Blue Orp roo who happens to be very, very fond of my jubilee and mottled orp hens. The nest that my mottled is currently sitting on is a mix of eggs from both girls. Does anyone know what I should expect form them color wise? All my birds are beautiful and I'm sure the babies will be just as pretty but Chicken genetic's isn't my thing.
 
I had a buff orp hatch several eggs from several birds last fall. One was a silky cross and idk what she's crossed with. Shes mostly black with gold feathers streaking her neck to shoulders and a tuft of feathers on her head and a walnut comb. I have 2 roosters I had no idea who father was. Turned out to be my RIR. Together they made a black too with a walnut comb, tuft or feathers on his head, gold featherson his neck and shoulders and copper red feathers on his wings and saddle. So you are in for a treat when they hatch and change over the weeks.

In addition, he has a brother who looks like him without colors and a brother who has thh same neck colors, a purple straight comb, no tuft on his head but he has the feathered feet and 5 toes. They all have the signature black skin too. Now i have another silkie cross who is gray but with the same black and gold head and shoulders as the other one I mentioned above. I got one from her egg and that is solid gray,a tiny ltiny green pea comb and green skin on her feathered feet, 4 toes.

I have no clue who the father is. No red anywhere so i doubt its Red.the other rooster i have is a cuckoo marans,which looks like a black and white barred rock. I want to mate the silver one above with the colorful rooster! Should get an interesting assortment of colors! But she hasn't started laying yet but itll be soon !
