My rooster has a pinkish/grey feet not yellow. Is he a barred rock?

Not a Barred Rock. Looks more like a Black Sexlink, but with white legs, could be he was made by using a Cuckoo Marans hen and RIR rooster, rather than a BR hen. His barring is very much like a black sexlink rather than Cuckoo Marans to me, but could be wrong.

Without Yellow legs, he isn't a pure BR. Could be Birchen Marans. I have them. Their rare around here. Maybe a mix of something. Nice bird!

Yjis is my Birchen Marans Roo

If I pair this roo with a buff EE will my hen still produce a green egg? What will be their offspring look like?

Looks like a sexlink or some sort of cross to me

i've also been told that the blue egg gene is dominant so if she lays green, her female offspring should lay some shade of green, so with the brown of the roo, her daughters may lay a pretty olive or light olive egg... good luck...

and i didn't think about the mixing a barred marans with a RIR to get sexlinks.. i have 1 RIR and a couple barred marans.... hhhmmmm
thanxs for that info....
