Or how about EE x Polish?

I have an EE roo and want to see if if would be good-looking or garish if I hatched out eggs from him and my various girls.

Also, would any of you genetics folks know what happens when you mix a bird with those typical white/black EE roo markings with a bird with the typical Buttercup markings? All of my other pullets in question are also B/W or some variation thereof, but the Buttercups have that golden speckledy partridge-ish get-up and I'm not sure what one would end up with...and I am thinking 'Designer Chicken' but don't want them to end up ugly...poor things!

Thanks!

Does it seem folly to mix the two? I never used to think of it, but I would just love to see the outcome!!

I got pictures for you!

Ok, here is an EE/Polish cockeral at about 14 weeks.

This is my little EE/Polish splash hen same age.

This is Stinkerbelle, an EE/Cochin.  I'm not sure yet, but I'm starting to suspect that Stinkerbelle is a Stinkerbeau.

I have other EE/Cochin mixed pullets as well.  One of them is blue and the other is black with a yellow patch on her eye.  They both favor the cochin with green legs and they both have feathered legs.

I say go for it ! I love the patterns on our Buttercup hens; they are very regal looking.
The EE'scome in so many different patterns and colors too. If you dont like them you can always sell them or give them to a good home. I was surprised this spring when I had a Light Brahma/Black Jersey Giant cross; ended up with beautiful black babies with feathered feet and a white neck ring around them like the Brahmas. Go for it !!! Thats the beauty of raising chickens; mixing and matching. Someone crossed a buttercup with a Dark cornish and called it a Buttercorn and he was Gorgeous !!!! Try to search for that pic. It had the coloring of the Cornish but the body of a Buttercup !

good luck ! smilesmilesmilesmilesmile

S(he) is very pretty! I don't know much about breeding chickens yet, but couldn't you breed your roo with say a buttercup, and the chicks hatch out, couldn't you take the 2 that most resemble the buttercup, and breed for a buttercup with colored eggs? Like I said, I don't really know anything about breeding chickens, but how else would you get a colored egg layer? Then, keep breeding to get the chickens back to the buttercup standard, but with colored eggs... It sounds so easy and fast  tongue2  jumpy  lau
