I also have a Rhode Island Red, Japanese Bantam, Buff Orpington, Brown Leghorn, Mottled Cochin, Bluebell (a bluebell mix, it has feathers on it's feet), White Leghorn, and Black Sex-Link (these are female). Does anybody know which combo when incubated would be best for show, and which combo would make an AWESOME egg layer? Thanks for your input! :)

No such thing. Someone made up a name for a mutt.

There is such a thing as a bluebell, but, it's not a breed. It's a cross of RIR and Marans and is blue in color. Sold in the UK, so, yes, they are real, but, they are mutts to many persons.

Been working with Cubalayas for 4 years, I have many colors but am more focused on perfecting type at this point. I have recently begun to work with Ko Shamo in wheaten.My Dad raises Columbian Wyandotte Bantams. I have Tufted Roman Geese, sheep, and goats as well. Usually have about 100 chickens midsummer, and overwinter 20-30.

I was talking to the person who said the name was made up for a mutt. It may be a hybrid, but the name wasn't randomly made up.
