Americauna rooster and ISA hens

[jyveslandry]

Wondering if anyone has experience crossing americauna and ISA? What coloured eggs would you get?

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
You'd get blue, green or brown I imagine.

Welcome to the BYC forums

Americaunas would give you blue or green eggs, and the ISA Brown would give brown eggs. I would expect one of those egg colors for a cross, and each cross hen may have different colored eggs. I don't know how you intend to hatch those chicks, but the ISA Brown is a hybrid production bird that normally does not go broody and therefore not apt to sit on eggs. I think you would have a better chance hatching eggs with a surrogate (non ISA) hen or an incubator.
