I have to say those are some good looking girls! I may be biased though....see my pics?
I am jumping in too! These are the ones I bred this spring.

I have a roo that looks similar to this one. If I want some yard candy from the following hens what might I expect

Blue Ameraucan
White Olive Egger
Black Olive Egger

Also have growing FBCM pullets and roos

I have the usual EE colors (black with brown/buff with black) I may have a splash, not sure if she is EE or Plymouth Rock she has green legs so it is throwing me.

I have only had chickens for a few months, but clearly I am addicted. I love my blue eggs and can't wait till these new girls start laying, should be soon! I want my "Easter Basket" of eggs! I spend more time at BYC than I do on Facebook!

I'm not sure which rooster yours looks simular to??????????? While blue and blacks will generally produce more blues and blacks, their own genotypes and those of the roo may result in other colors bleeding through or showing up in a pattern. The white hen could be white because of several different genes................... no telling what she will produce. Plymouth Rocks don't have green legs as far as I know, and I've never heard of blue or splash Plymouth Rocks............... but I don't know much about Plymouth Rocks in general.

This is my Roo

They do talk about Splash's on the Plymouth Rock threads. The other two have yellow legs so maybe she is an EE can they be splash? I bought 22 12 weeks old at one time in one pen and I may just have that one confused. She look like the PR, but she is smaller with green legs so I am just going to put her in with the EE.
I was wondering how I got an Olive Egger with white feathers cuz they are usually crossed with Marans but I don't know what color that Marans was.

That guy will throw a mix of everything, he's got alot of different genes showing.
Yeah, I looked up Plymouth Rocks and they do have a blue variety. That said, hatchery sourced birds are usually smaller and may have characteristics not consistant with the breed they represent them as. EEs do come in splash.................. when you cross two blue chickens, about 25% of the chicks should be splash, and there's getting to be alot of EEs with blue feathers.

My little girls got to go out into the big world yesterday afternoon. The three outside and the one peeking out the door are EE's, the one inside is a Buff Orp.

The drifted away from the hoop toward a tree, and then something spooked them and they all ran/flew back to the door of the coop and practically ran each other down going back in. It was hilarious. I'm expecting them to be a bit less nervous this evening. They get to come out when the big girls go back into their run about 6 or so.
