Has anybody crossed a Buff Orph hen and a Splash Orph roo? If so what did you get? What are the possibilities? What does anybody think will evolve from this mix? I am thinking of trying that also this spring/summer and see what I get. I am currently working on Red Orphs now and will be working...

I have a Delaware hen and RIR roo. I have hatched out some sex links and I have a question about their offspring. If I mate a red sex link (F1) to a RIR roo will all the offspring be RIR or will I still get some sex links? I ask this because I have hatched out 2 more little white cockerels and...

She was only sitting on the golf ball I have in the nests so earlier in the day I sliped a couple of eggs in under her and she stayed on them the rest of the day. When it...
