I crossed my Welsummer Roo with my Wheaten Blue/Wheaten Ameruacana hen trying to get some Oliver Eggers. Anyone have any idea what I should expect or has anyone done this same cross n can tell me what they experienced pls?
Tks
I know it's been a long time but I am thinking bout doing this same cross with a true Ameruacana roo n a commerical White Leghorn hen So just wanted to echo this same question.
Surely by now someone can share the pros n cons n hopefully some pics? Pls?
I have an Ameraucana rooster that is in the pen with my ISA Brown hens. If I were to hatch some of these eggs would I get Oliver Eggers?
Has anyone else done this cross before?
If so would u mind sharing ur results with us pls?

I live in The Bahamas on a small island (2 1/2 miles long and 1/2 wide) and our climate is comparable to South Fl. What I want to do is get a pair of ducks preferably Wood or Mandarin and...
Good evening, I am pondering getting some ducks but have a few questions. Forgive me if they seem dumb but I am new to ducks. I really like the Wood and Mandarin duck and wonder which one if any would work for what I want to do. Let me say I live in The Bahamas and our climate here is comparable...
