What does White Leg Horn Rooster Off Springs look like?

One thing you can predict- a colorful flock of really good layers! Hope you get lots of girls

I do have a couple of leghorn girls and they are faithful layers! I just didn't post that because I knew male/female leghorn = leghorn. We are excited, even if they are mutts we will still pamper them.
 
Its ok LOL you didn't offend me, its a common mistake. The correct abbreviations are RIR and BR and you said EE right

Woo Hoo! One out of three isn't too bad! I promise to keep trying! Thanks for keeping me on my toes.

The white eggs that are going to hatch will be pure leghorn, the brown eggs are you RIRs BOs(the abb. for buff Orpington) and BRs crosses and the green eggs will be your EE crosses
 
So now my question is, does anyone have suggestions for candling the EEs? I have tried led lights, mag lights, and nothing is working. Not even a little. I can see thru all my other dark, light, white, but no green. I am afraid they are not going to be good and explode.

Thanks again for all the advise! I am super excited about this group of hatchlings. Mainly because they are from our chickens, which is a first for this family. All this started out as a school project. Who knew how much fun we would have!!!!
 
I have one of the opposite crosses EE roo over WL hens Most are white with random black feathers. Here are two of the boys and the only one whose is not white and black, the first picture also has one of my pure WL hens:

Beautiful! I would love to have more than one roo but we cannot free range where we live and the space doesn't accommodate two male egos. We had our leghorn and a beautiful EE for right at 1 year. They grew up together but over night the EE decided he wanted to alpha and our male duck decided he was going to help him get that crown. Since George was hatched by the kids, the leghorn won the battle via intervention. Our EE has a happy new home where he can free range and has plenty of girls to himself.

I currently have 9 roos and need to find homes for 7 of them

and I don't think either of those boys made the cut, even though I hatched both of those boys.​
 
Here is one of my white leghorn/? chick:

This little chick is bigger now and is getting black spots all over him. He looks very neat!
I will have to try and get a better picture of him now and his spots. I am pretty sure this little chick is going to be a rooster.. but who knows.
