What color eggs will they lay?

[livestock101]

I've been raising chickens for years but I have a "first" for me and dont know the answer.

We decided to hatch some mutts for the first time, just to see what we would get. The hen is a white leghorn and the rooster is a standard silver laced wyandotte.

So my question is, will the pullets from this lay white eggs like the leghorn or brown like wyandottes do?

I believe egg color is determined my the father. So they would lay brown eggs.

White egg color is recessive. Blue and Brown egg colors are dominant.

Hmm so that explains why when I had crosses with my EE hen and RIR rooster, the off spring laied nasty canned olive green eggs?
