I recently got some Leghorn x Barnevelder cross chicks. Leghorn mama and barnevelder roo. One chick is dark brown and the others are white with black spots. One has feathered legs.

My question is, what color eggs will they lay? They came out of white eggs.
 
One has feathered legs...? Neither of those parent birds do, so besides that chick who may not be Leghorn/Barnevelder, I believe these chicks would lay a tan or light brown egg, although I'm not positive. Do you have pictures of the chicks? ^^
 
They should lay brown eggs. The shade will depend on how dark of eggs the barnevelder line laid. They will be considerably lighter.
That pairing wouldn't produce a feather legged or brown offspring.
