Cuckoo Maran x Barred Rock

[greenfamilyfarms]

What would be the resulting offspring of a Cuckoo Maran rooster and a Barred Rock hen? Would the offspring lay a darker colored egg?

Perhaps a little darker.

When I had Barred Rocks, they laid the lightest brown of all my girls.

Yeah, that what I was afraid of. Do you think that the Cuckoo will make the Barred pattern look "funny"?
