Hybrid Crosses that use a Welsummer Rooster?

I think they can come out as really any color... I don't think there's a specific pattern.

This is the opposite cross. CLB roo over Wely hens. They are very uniform. I believe (correct me if someone knows) the crele gene comes from the male. So I imagine they will look similar minus the barring. I have some hatching in 3 weeks so can update when I know!

In the cross you show, yes the barring gene is coming from the father, so all the chicks inherit it. (Barring gene is what makes them Crele, instead of just being colored like Welsummers.)

For the opposite cross, with Welsummer rooster and Crested Cream Legbar hens, the sons will have white barring (crele), while the daughters will not have white barring (so yes, the daughters will be similar to that photo but without the barring. That also means they will look similar to Welsummer hens, or similar to Cream Legbar without the barring.)

I have a Welsummer Rooster that I plan to get welsummer hens for. In the meantime I would like to put some other hens in with him. I currently have cinnamon queens, Austrwhites, white leghorns, buff orphington, American game fowl, barred rock, Speckled Sussex, Easter eggers, Ameraucana.

Does anyone know of some common hybrids that use a welsummer rooster? What hens are usually used and what is the hybrid called?

Any updates?

This is a Pullet from the Welsummer rooster x crested cream Legbar hen cross. All pullets and cockerels looked very similar so far and are sexlinked at hatch and very easy to distinguish at least in my birds. My rooster and the hen used for this particular cross are not SOP and have many flaws but these these were intended for layers not exactly show birds.
