That is how I made my white orp bantams. I had a white splash male and I got some half white rock and half wyn females and crossed them. I kept 4 females with white legs and got a white orp male from Warren and started. I kept females every year and bred them back to there sire. Did that 4 years and got a new white guy. Blue leg color is hard to breed out of the females. I would always get a blue legged white pullet ever year.
After my first cross and I started to breed the females to a pure white male I never got a blue legged male. I was told, if you use a white legged male you won't get any blue. That ain't true. Year after year they got less and less. After several years of breeding them I might get 1 out of 25 pullets. Wish isn't bad. I told people that got the whites that they might get a blue legged pullet up front. You need to be careful when selling birds that might breed true. I have never lied about my birds and have never had a problem.
