I’m looking into crossing a Bielefelder (black patterned red duckwing barred) over a Delaware (black patterned silver Columbian barred). Does any have any pics of a red duckwing over a columbian to give me an idea of why they’d look like? Any info is appreciated on this, or similar, cross.

Are Naked Necks (Turkens) from Hoover Hatchery pure? Or do they mix them with other breeds and, given that the naked neck genes are dominant, just call the Naked Necks?
I was told these are Blue Rock. Looking further, it seems that they are the result from crossing Barred Plymouth Rocks and Blue Andalusians. Looking at these pics, one has a white ear; the other does not. Are these Blue Rocks? Is only one a Blue Rock? If so, what could the other one be? Their...

I guess I’m a little confused because that’s what I reas, but when I plug this into the Kippenjungle calculator, it doesn’t become so clear. But nevertheless, I was thinking about breeding a Cuckoo Marans Roo over a Welsummer Hen to get a crele. This should work - am I correct?
I’ve heard that, for example, Dorkings and Bresse have fine meat, while Cornish and Jersey Giants have coarse meat. I have only eaten store bought chicken and self-slaughtered Buff Orpingtons. Can someone explain the texture (and if applicable the taste) differences between Coarse and fine meat...
Has anyone experimented with creating your own Dual Purpose? Maybe crossing a Cornish with a Leghorn? Or something along the lines of a good meat bird with a good layer?
My buddy got some from Tractor Supply. They were supposed to be Penedesencas. I’m not sure their age, but but not laying yet, so I approximate around three or four months.
