I think that they will all be white. I almost positive that leghonrs are dominant white!

you will get more white some will come out as brown white is dominate

OK thanks I guess by crossing them I'll get hybrid vigor and hopefully a good layer I thinking I'm gonna give it a try

Yes the F1 will be white with some leakage of black or red,usually black flecks on a white bird.If you breed the f1 together you can get a variety of colors out if you raise a lot of them.
