Barnyard mix

[NLH1623]

Anyone here have experience with hatching Hy-line brown crossed chicks? I have 12 Hyline Brown hens with a Silver laced Wyandotte/White leghorn mixed roo so obviously they will be a barnyard mix. Just wondering what I could expect egg production wise out of the offspring. My Hyline brown hens lay everyday.

I've heard there's no telling, just have to try it and see how your individual hatched hens do.
I've got an ISA brown (similar to Hyline but different manufacterer) egg under a broody right now - it was just so large I couldn't resist. We'll see how it goes. She was crossed with a Production Red rooster, so I hope for good things.

I’ve got ten eggs a week into the incubator so I will post results.
