The white eggs are White Leghorns and will hatch yellow chicks. The Brown eggs are either Black Star or Cinnamon Queen chicks. We will know once they hatch because the female Black Star chicks are all black and the males are black with a white spot on it's head. The female Cinnamon Queen chicks hatch red and the males hatch yellow. The green eggs are either Ameraucana or Cream Legbar eggs. The Ameraucana chicks have green legs and there is no way to determine the sex of these chicks when they are hatched. Cream Legbar chicks hatch similar to the Ameraucana chicks with females hatching darker in color with defined "chipmunk" stripes, a "V" on its head and a dark eyeliner stripe at the eye. The male chicks hatch lighter in color with blurred stripes and a white dot on its head. They have yellow legs.
