I cant seem to find anything on this. I have a black leghorn hen and a dozen or so white leghorn hens. Wondering what the outcome would be of a black roo over the white hens? and vice versa, white rooster over black hen. If anyone has any info or guesses as to what these would look like, I'd...

so what i’m understanding is if I get a BR rooster and put him with my WL hens, i’m not going to get a CG purebred? But it would still have the same traits mostly

I appologize, all this time I have misinterpreted the breed. The OFFSPRING of the barred rock rooster over the white leghorn hen creates the CG, and their offspring will be autosexing. Correct?

Thanks for the insight, however through the research i’ve done the california grey is a hybrid chicken, a cross between a male barred rock and a white leghorn hen. Are you saying this is incorrect?

If I was going off looks, I’d have to say my speckled sussex are my favourite... however my white leghorns are the best egg layer hens i’ve ever raised.

I currently have a dozen white leghorn hens, thinkin about breeding them with a barred rock rooster to get california grey chicks. My question is, does it need to be a purebred barred rock rooster to get the autosexing trait, or can it be any rooster that has barring?

I’ve got a Speckled Sussex rooster and 9 hens. 1 white chantecler 1 black australorp 4 black sex link 2 barred rock Wondering if anyone has an idea of what the outcome of these mixes will look like. Thanks

Curious if any one has bred for bantam black sex links (BR bantam xRIR bantam)? I have about 10 RI bantams and a pair of BR bantams. Thinking about putting the BR hen with the RIR rooster. I’d love to hear stories etc or some pictures! Thanks in advance.

Not exactly sure where to post this so I guess I will post it here! I’m currently looking into buying 2 piglets. I plan on having them in a rotational “grazing” system(moving them everyday). If I put chickens with them from the start is it possible they will bond with the chickens? I know that...

Feed IS expensive when you have 80 chickens.

Thanks. I’ve seen some of these before, interesting.

Thanks!

I’ve got about 25 laying hens that are free ranging everyday. I give them Rolling Acres layer feed but I’m wondering how much each hen should get? With all my other chickens I’m going through a lot of feed so I’m trying to be as efficient as possible. Let me know, thanks!

Okay thanks for the help! I kind of figured that but just thought I’d check

I bought a few laying hens a while ago and I’m just wondering what colour this Americauna hen is? Thanks
