I didn't take pics but I had a Golden Laced Wyandotte that hatched a dozen chicks.  Each one is the shape of her (compact and petite), but the color of whatever roo she mated.  So some are black (austrlorp) and some barred (barred rock).  They all have single combs too.  Fun thread!!

Makes perfect sense since the old timers say that the chick gets it's size and shape from the hen and it's color from the roo. Of course this is only a rough guide, not 100% in all instances.

Love those Orps!

I don't care why the chicken crossed the road, as long as mine don't!

Thank You for starting this thread! I don't know where you originally listed it, but it should SURELY be in breeds and genetics......how else do particular breeds and traits come to be without crossing??!!?? It is nice to see what will result from calculated and accidental crosses. Who know's, we might find the beginnings of the next "must have" right here.

 

I really look forward to having something to post here someday. I'm totally saving this thread. I devoured all the pictures and descriptions of crosses.....I would LOVE some Barred rock X Buff Orpingtons!!! Thumbs up for the great idea.

Dinka the showgirl, 3 silkie youths, Weeble the braindamaged Polish frizzle roo, 2.5 domestic cats, 3.5 ferile felines, 1 surviving white goldfish, 1 ooold rescued retired champion cardigan welsh corgi, ,1 city-raised patient spouse & nosey neighbors around every corner.........daily laughs, priceless.

We are about to set some eggs that will be very interesting mixes! They are just for Layers and Pets, but we are so looking forward to seeing what they turn out like! The one we are looking forward to the most is a Red Americana Roo over a Speckled Hamburg! We can't wait to see what we get. We have all the eggs marked with the parent mixes and are just dying to get them in the incubator!

*drool*
 absolutely stunning... I wonder if that crossing could be used as a starting point to get a strain of brahma in that color... 
 

 

That this universe, in all it's infinite wonder, simply is, that it exists at all, is good enough for me. In my eyes, to say that something had to "create" it, to make it what it is, only succeeds to cheapen the experience, to make it less special.
