    Rhode Island Red Hen x Light Sussex Cockerel?

    Hi no we did not breed any more of them but I must say they made quite a good table bird at about 4 months old I do not recall the weight though and we did not really feed for the table.Good thing is though with those white based feathers they were real easy to pluck. Also had yellow skin.
