CW Hen x BR Roo = ?

[Blooms&Brood]

My BR roo is courting my California White ladies. I plan to start collecting eggs for hatch in August when the girls are a year old.

I know for a fact that my California Whites are from Hy-Line Leghorn hens crossed with a California Grey rooster. A California Grey rooster is a BR X Leghorn cross. So my CW are 2/3 leghorn, yes? If I am doing my math right, chicks with CW/BR would be 2/3 BR and a 1/3 leghorn, yes (reverse)? Has anyone done this cross with a CW, not just a leghorn. I saw those threads.

The reason I am curious is I’d like to hatch eggs for dual purpose (meat and eggs). Your feedback is appreciated!

I think I’d be half and half... Not sure though.

My husband said the same thing as you. I hope someone else can chime in and help!

1/2 br x 1/2 leg horn + 1 leg horn ÷2 =1/4 br x 3/4 leg horn +1 br ÷2 = 5/8 br x 3/8 leghorn
