If I cross these two what will I get...

Yes I know a chicken....

Anyways I have several Barnvelders hens and two Welsumers Roo's (Spelling is wrong) and I cross what will the chicks look like. They will still lay dark eggs right?

That wouldbe a nice mix! Don't know what they'd look like- besides being chipmunk babies. Surely they'd lay a nice dark egg.

Do the barnvelders you have lay dark eggs to begin with.

 

[Country Living Farm]

They should. They came from dark eggs

I'm thinking they'd be some sort of wheaton, easter-egger looking offspring. Barnies lay dark eggs. If the hens inherited the fullness of the barnvelders- they'd be some really cool birds! I'd go for it

It would be interesting to see the color on the birds- not just the eggs- go for it!
