No name that I know of.
No sexlink. Brown leghorn rooster over CCL hens would though.
They'd look close to a legbar. All pullets should lay blue eggs. Crests are supposed to be dominant but I've seen the cross produce birds that have had small or no noticeable crests also.
CCL has or should have the cream gene which is also supposed to be dominate. It just lightens up or mutes the gold tones some.
All will be barred but the males will only have one barring gene instead of two like a pure CCL so the white bars will be thinner which will make them appear a little darker.
I think that about covers it all.
I have an olive egger that is apparently a legbar crossed with something, and she looks like a barred rock with a tiny crest. Nothing like the bouffant on my legbar.
