Sitting momma who is 1/2 buff orpington and 1/2 lavender orpington

25% of their offspring will be lavender. The others will probably be black or black with leakage.

The leghorn baby came out a silvery yellow with some brown on her eyes and head, the other baby seems to be mostly black with some leakage for the moment, mom lost her leaking as she got older, and that baby also had some brown on her head. I say her on both because sexed as females and we normally have good luck.

Leghorns have dominant white, so it will likely grow up to be white with some black spots, and maybe some red leakage.
