All offspring from those crosses will probably lay brown eggs. They will probably lay pretty well. They will not be especially big and meaty, but you certainly can choose to eat the cockerels.

They should have single combs.

If all parents have clean legs, so will the chicks. If the Marans rooster has feathers on his legs, the chicks may also.

Color: chicks from the Rhode Island Red hens will be black with white bars. Chicks from the White Leghorn hens may be mostly white, likely with a few black feathers. They will have white barring too, but you won't see it on white feathers. Slight chance of chicks from the Leghorns being black instead of white (also with white bars), but I don't expect that.
