Going by the pics of the chicks, it´s not a secret what their parent´s identity are.! Cream Crested Legbar Dame with a Blue Copper Maran rooster as sire.
The Barred chicks are males and the solid black/blue chicks are females, the bad thing about this cross as oposed to Ameraucana/Maran cross is that if you breed them together you will not be able to tell which pullet will lay green/olive eggs or the ones that will lay brown eggs, you just can´t until they start laying! With the original olive eggers you at least had about 95% chance of getting an olive egger pullet by looking at the shape of their comb! pea comb pullets from the cross of olive eggers with olive eggers have 95% chance of laying olive eggs, pullets from that cross with single comb have about 95% chance of laying brown eggs, but on the Sapphire Gem OE all of them are single comb(they have only one copy of the blue egg gene on one of the single comb) so if you breed them together you will not know which pullet will lay olive eggs and which one will lay brown eggs until they start laying eggs
