Hi can anyone help if i X a white leghorn cock with cream leg bar hen what egg colour can i expect.Also if i X  the other way around would it be the same

[GrannieAnnie]

Blue and White Stripes?

or cross the other way round and you may get white and blue stripes!   

(Sorry, stupid sense of humour!)  There may be someone on here soon who has done that cross, but I haven't so I'm waffling!   

[meterman]

blue with white stripes sounds very good but white with blue stripes dont fancy, but how much would they go for on ebay

[GrannieAnnie]

You're as mad as I am Meterman!!   

I'd say you'd get more than double what they are getting for the chocolate coloured fowl at the moment!   LOADSA MONEY!!!!   

[joyfull]

just to get this back on track    does anybody know?
Don't they take the colour from the cockerel side? so perhaps you could get a pale blue or a tinted white

[feelingbroody]

would they be scottish eggs then

[meterman]

well this year ive hatched some more clb but no longer have my cockral (but have kept 1 cockral off him 6 weeks old) and some white leghorns also 1 cockral 16 weeks old will not breed brother/sister hence the X but it will be next year B4 eggs from their young.

Im pretty sure the cockerel carries the colour but the blue gene is dominant so im not 100%sure .Will let you know as im planning on hatching some legbar/leghorns.

[cluckingnuts]

Blue is dominant.

Well whatever colour the hens turn out to be, if their earlobes are white as in leghorns - the egg will be white. If ears are any other colour probably light - light blue as in cream legbars.
