They may just lay a green egg or probably a brown egg. You will need a Marans or welsummer penedesenca (not sure I spelled that right.

Crele Penedesenca X Cream Leg Bar makes at least a sex link. It remains to be seen if they will breed true and be auto sexing.

Yes, The F1 cross(Crele Pene X Cream Legbar) is pretty much all OEs. It seems to get harder with the F2s and so on.

The F1s are great though.
