What do these crosses give?

[Welshies]

What will....

• A purebred Ameraucana roo over an Australorp hen.
• A purebred Ameraucana roo over Easter Egger CROSS Brahma hens.
• Easter egger x brahma hens
• Easter Egger roo over Easter Egger cross Brahma hens
• Easter Egger roo over Australorp hen

Thanks!

Too many unknowns to come to any conclusions.

What do you mean by what will they give?
As far as looks there's too many unknowns about what genes they have to figure what the offspring may have.
Even egg color would be hard to guess since Easter eggers can carry any of the different egg color genes.
Mixed breeds and EEs are mixed genes. Without knowing the genes its impossible to predict what genes the offspring would have.

I don't really care about colors. What I'm looking for is egg colors.
As well as what the qualities of an EE x Brahma would be?
What if the roo was an Ameraucana?

Can't tell for sure until the're hatched.

Not necessarily.

This is a very nice article on sex-linked traits and other genetics of egg color.

EDT: Egg color as in white vs. blue. Brown coating is an additional characteristic and is controlled by several genes, as you may or may not know. Once you have brown in there, you're not getting it out without a serious breeding program.

So... what would the EExBrahma hens lay?
Ameraucana over Australorp?
