Egg colour

The Legbar Rooster should have two copies of the blue eggshell gene at that gene pair. That means he will give one blue eggshell gene to all of his offspring. Since the Blue eggshell gene is dominant all his pullets should lay colored eggs.
Both the Marans and the Rock hens should lay brown eggs. Blue plus brown equals green. You can get an idea of what shade of green they might be by looking at how brown the Marans and Rock hens' eggs are.

Ok thanks i could have alot of blue coloured eggs
More likely some shade of green. But it will be fun seeing what shades of blue or green you get.
Only if you have blue laying hens.
CL over Marans and Black Rocks will likely all lay some shade of green.
