First time flock owner, thinking about hatching out some in the spring. What will i be looking at with these breeds i have?

Hey all. Still learning about genetics and all but just wanted some general info on what I might see if I do some hatching of what I've got.

My flock consists of 14 hens and a Lavender orpington roo.
HEN LIST:

2- Lav orpington​

1- chocolate orpington​

2 -Rhode Island Red​

2 - Red star​

2- Plymouth rock​

3 - barred rocks​

2 - easter Eggers (golden-esque with some black tips on em)​

​

I know the Lavenders will make more lavenders of course with them both being recessive genes. And the lavXChoc will not be Lavender but possibly black-brown since both are black overlay if I interpret it correctly. I don't know whose eggs are whose besides the EE's since they have green eggs.

So I'm just trying to figure out basics as I delve into this stuff deeper and possibly sell off some chicks in the future.

I hatched out eggs from my birds for the first time this last spring and let me tell you it was fun! My goal was nice dual purpose meaty birds and colored layers so I watched my birds and made sure I knew who laid what so I could keep track of the result. Of course you don’t really need to know who the mothers are if you aren’t too concerned about that.

Your barred birds will give you sex linked chicks, males will have a light colored spot on the tops of their head at hatch. I don’t have experience with lavender but I would expect the pullets to be black while the cockerels will likely look like their barred mothers.

For the EEs, unless the mothers carry two blue genes only half the daughters will lay a colored eggs. If they have two copies for blue then all of their young will carry a copy and the girls will lay a green tinted egg. For feather color, no clue as EEs are mutts who come in all sorts of colors and patterns.

As for the other breeds I’ve no idea what colors you’d get. You can try the chicken calculator to get an idea. Takes a bit of fiddling with to understand though.
