I recently crossed by Barred Rock roo with my RSL's. The eggs are currently incubating. What should I expect to get? I also crossed my SLW roo with my RSL's. What should I expect? I currently have a flock of 25 hens, and I get 20-24 eggs a day. Will the offspring of these crosses be good layers or just eating machines?
You'll get mutt chickens, basically, but the BR roo will produce chicks with some barring on both sexes. Since a RSL is a cross in the first place, you just crossed again. It's anyone's guess how they'll lay, but they'll probably be decent layers.
