Breeding different chickens?

[cloverchick]

We have an Australorp rooster. We have RIR, Leghorn and Australorp hens. We eventually want to hatch chicks. Does anyone have experience with breeding these different chickens together? What are some pros and cons to interbreeding? Thanks

Welcome to BYC. Crossing of different breeds can result in hybrid vigor.
