What can I expect here out of the chicks?
I have a divider for my incubator, but that is only 4 sections. Not shown are my blue layers as they get a section to them selves.
Would any of these mixes make something distinctive?

What kind of hybrid is your boy? CCL with blue layer. Was the blue layer also CL barred?

I'm going to assume he is not double barred if he is a hybrid, but single barred (looks single barred to me). That means 50% of his offspring will be barred (both genders) with a lot of red bleed through (since you have a lot of red in the flock) and 50% won't be barred. I seem to get a lot of partridge form my CL cross over red-brown hens.

Not sure what the blue-ish birds genetics are. She's probably single blue, which is actually diluted black. She *might* have 50% blue-ish and 50% barred.

It'll be fun to see what happens.

Got them from a local guy breeding blue and green layers. The "blue layer" was something called a Saphire. NOT the Saphire Gems. Didnt get a chance to see it in person, but was used because it was 2x blue egg gene. The grey girl is also a "saphire" mix. I'm begining to think it was a CCL of somesort and that my boy is CLxBR. Its possible the grey is a Lav Orp mix.
