What do u call a Leghorn x New Hampshire hen

When I was younger I used to get a catalog from a hatchery. Don't remember which one,thinking it might have been marti hatchery??
hmm.png
They sold the new hampshire male X white leghorn female cross and sold them as legshires.
 
I have a New hamshire Red female, that I think my leg horn male may try mating... I'm curious what they might look like. And So U Think That since the Leghorn is dominant I would have white eggs???
 
You will have a white chicken which is somewhat in between weight of Leghorn - new Hampshire. You will not have a red chicken regardless of whether the male or female is leghorn. Dominate white will give you white, with black feathers bleeding out or red bleeding out. If you have red hens, then I would bet you have red sex links and will have brown and not whitish eggs.
 
Big companies, call them tinted or silver.
But, in my opinion, they don't deserve a breed name because they are not a breed.
 
Weren't you looking at making some hybrids and giving them a name?
Olivians I believe.
The fact that I called them Olivians is that I wanted to refer to them in some way. They don't have an official name, ers, because other companies call them olive eggers, other sage eggers (in Greece), others black sex links etc.

And stop judging me.
 
It was just curious that you resurrected a thread that hasn't been active in almost two years to make that comment after knowing other threads of yours.
I don't judge you and ive tried to help you with multiple posts.
