What colors from crossing Bresse x Maline

[CSKA]

Hello,

I'm trying to use one of those online calculators, but find them confusing.

What colors do I get from crossing a Bresse Gauloise (pure white Rooster) with a Maline hen (same pattern as a plymouth rock).

Edit for extra info: I have 2 Bresse roosters (in Europe) and both Maline and Bresse Hens, all mixed. The point of my question is: If I get a full white female as a result, can I be sure its pure (from crossing Bresse with Bresse). All others (males and non-white females) would become dinner. Just need to be sure, that I can confidently keep white hens as pure Bresse.

Thanks

Hard to say. Bresse are recessive white, so it's hard to say what genes your rooster has. Recessive white is a gene that can turn any pattern white.
Most likely, the cockerels will be barred and pullets black though.

I think there is a good chance it would work, but it would be nice to have another way to double check.

Some other possibilities:

I'm not very familiar with either breed, but if the Bresse have clean legs and the Malines have feathered feet, then any chick with feathers on the feet would be a mix. (But some mixed chicks could have clean feet, so clean feet does not guarantee pure Bresse.)

If Bresse have blue legs and Malines have white legs, then any chick with white legs would have to be a mix. (But some mixed chicks could have blue legs, so blue legs does not guarantee pure Bresse.)

If you find one all-white chick that must be a mix, then you will know that you cannot trust "white" to mean pure Bresse. But if every white chick shows the correct other traits to be pure Bresse, that makes it more likely that you can trust the color as a way to sort the chicks.

I'm guessing the eggs look alike? Because if they are different, you could set Bresse eggs and not Malines eggs. Maybe you could separate the hens while you are collecting eggs for hatching, so you only incubate Bresse eggs.
