I recently bought some Opal Legbar hatching eggs. Well today they hatched and I ended up with a few Opal colored chicks, but mostly Cream Legbar color and even a black chick with a yellow spot on its head. They all came from blue eggs. Am I wrong to assume that an opal Legbar crossed with an opal Legbar would produce all opal Legbar offspring?

Ebay eggs?

Yeah, they've proven to be a crapshoot.

Optimistically you probably got some cream legbar colored chicks since every few generations opal legbar are bred with cream legbar to prevent feather shredding.
🤷‍♀️ But I have no idea how you possibly could have got a black chick with yellow spot.

On other hand eBay hatching eggs are hit or miss.
