So, if i were to cross my FBCM rooster with a cream legbar hen, would i get an olive egger, and any idea what it would look like? Thanks!
Also, if i have two roosters running with the hens, will only ones genes be passed on to the chicks (if that makes sense)?
Thanks

(Your red and white roo looks like a splash copper marans)
With the Black copper over the hens they would all be black sex linked olive eggers. They should have small crests and feathered legs and feet. Roosters are barred with copper leakage and hens are black with copper hackles. Some of my pullets have red ear lobes, others have white.
With the splash copper roo, chicks should be blue sex linked olive eggers. Roosters blue barred with copper leakage and hens blue with copper hackles.

Since there are two roosters ut depends on who fertilized the egg/hen before the egg was laid.

Very helpful, thank you!
