    Bantam rooster with heavy breed hens?

    This may be a totally off-the wall question, but here goes. I have both bantams and heavy breed egg layers (EE, White Rock, Australorp, one old grandma Buff Rock). I also have some OEG Bantams. They have always been kept in separate coop/runs -- we got our original flock from our neighbors and...

So I'll just call them EE because I am confused as to the breed specifics and assume they are mutts since they come from a hatchery. (right?) Anyhow, she has different coloring from the others with a...

    OEG bantams, right?

    I have some banties we adopted from our neighbors when their kids got too old to be interested. I think they are OEG bantams from what I've researched, and I'd say black for the girls and silver duckwing for the roo. They hatched out 6 babies, 3 of each color, 2 girls and 1 boy per color...

    First time BYC poster, but chicken mad!

    Finally joined BYC after reading the forums avidly throughout my 2 years of chicken husbandry! We have 4 OEG bantam hens, one OEG rooster (Henry) and their babies, which the proud mama hatched out 8 weeks ago in our barn. 3 are black like mama and 3 silver duckwing like papa, 4 hens and 2 roos...
