I could see the eggs getting lighter..maybe even white..but blue?

I'm wondering the same thing. Along with pure FBCMs, pipping and zipping in my bator are Birchin Marans mixes. I replaced my RI Red with a young 6 Mo old Birchin Marans mid July. Early Sept I popped some in to fill up my bator along with the shipped eggs from Charm1704. Looks like his fertility is very good but now I'm wondering if the female chicks will lay dark brown eggs. His ladies consist of RI Reds, Bl Aust & BRs. All lay light to med brown eggs. They're all coming out with feathered legs and I'm putting zip ties on the crosses as they hatch so I don't get confused. Also wondering about sex links. Birchin Marans x with BRs? Would the boys be "visible" at birth?

birchen marans roo over barred rock hen should make sex link chicks. Light head spots will be your cockerels.
