Hi
A friend gave me some eggs from a bluebell pullet X copper blue maran cock
For all the expert geneticists, what can I expect? I presume there will be no sex linking?!
Thanks

I am not an expert in genetics but I can't wait for pictures!!

I would expect they would follow BBS coloring. They would not be sex-linked.

So if you have two blue birds, you will get 50% blue offspring, 25% black offspring and 25% splash offspring.
As your rooster is a blue copper marans you may also get some copper leakage in some of the babies.
