Genotype of Norwegian Jaerhone

Thank you for all your input! I think the females look more like Bielefelder hens than the creme legbar hens (I have both breeds). But the male are much lighter than what a Bielefelder rooster is? Because of the cream/lemon maybe?

I know Bielefelders are e+e+/BB/MhMh and that Creme Legbar is ig/ig without the Mh. So Jaerhons could actually maybe be BB/MhMh/igig but with eb or different combinations of e-alleles, like eWh/eb? Chicks looks a bit different and are not always so easily autosexed being too light in chick down... And I guess this also will make some of them a bit lighter in adult feathers too. Could also maybe be eb/e+?
