Wow - thanks for the information! She is my favorite out of this batch - I just really like the looks of her. She wasn't my free "exotic" chick. That was a NN cockerel. I have yet to get something useful out of their "free exotic" chick. She'll be with a Buff Rock rooster at breeding time - it will be fun to see what that cross looks like.
She'll produce non-typical red sexlinks with that boy. Only her boys will get the 'silver' base color. The pullets will be buff/golden. Varying amounts of patterning for both genders.
Good to know, thank you! Too bad the pullets won't get the silver color - I plan on eating the extra boys... This is my first foray into intentional breeding. Nothing formal, just playing around to see if I can get a little meatier birds from my own flock. I've been raising and processing long enough to know not to expect anything like a Cornish x, but a little meat is a good thing. It's only DH and me, so I don't need a small turkey or anything...
