Americaunas crossed with Rhode Island Red rooster?

[paulandmisty]

I was just given some hatching eggs from Americauna hens with a RIR father. Does anyone have a clue as to what kind of chicken will come out?

1st off Welcome to BYC.
Then, the chicks should be a variety of colors but probably with alot of red in them. Should be good layers and will probably lay brown or green eggs.
Next, enjoy your chicks.

This was a very rude reply. I show German Shepherds and have never been spoken to so rudely for a simple question.

Thank you very much for your reply. You hit on exactly what I was wondering about. What kind of layers would they be, what kind of eggs would they have, and what kind of coloring would be more dominant.

I have a hen out of this same cross. She is largely red with some white lacing as a result of the pattern gene from her mother (a hatchery EE), has an S-shaped single comb, yellow skin, and lays large brown eggs. I plan to put her and two production reds under a Wheaten Ameraucana cock in a few weeks just to hatch some eggs for fun. I like the red coloring and figure it'd be nice to have some reddish-colored green egg layers.
