Does any know what I might end up with if I were to cross my cream legbar cockerel with welsummers hens ie egg colour! as I am considering  trying next spring and am curious to the cross I might end up with? Might I assume the feathering would be not dissimilar to the parents, but would also assume the chicks wouldn't be able to be sexed at hatching?

I can only comment on the eggs which should be blue/green as this is a dominant gene :)
Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted!!

I have to say either the dark brown or blu/green would be lovely, but the blue option seem most popular with friends, so there would never be any spare!

Probably blue eggs, as that's the dominat gene. Do tell us what you end up with!😊

You will get olive green egg layers, unlikey to lay a blue egg. They will make lovely hens.
I have some Araucana x welsummers and they are gorgeous, they lay an olive green egg too. The coloured eggs do look nice all jumbled together in the kitchen too.
