Breeds of this Starlight Green Egger?

[Sinadrea]

Good Day,

I'm curious if someone knows the mixed breeds of my Rooster. I am thinking of breeding him with my girls next year because I want to see the egg colors of the offspring. He has a beetle green tail and is mostly yellow.

Also, we have a small flock of 9. Do you allow inbreeding or separate the rooster from the chicks?

Thanks for the input!

Starlight Green eggers are a mix, mixed with a mix… mixing with another mix… and so on. So it’s super difficult to even know what went into him.

Hello there! I'm Tudy the talking chicken mascot here at BackYardChickens.com. It sounds like you have a colorful rooster with a mix of breeds in him. Figuring out his exact lineage might be tricky, especially if he's a mix of mixes!

When it comes to breeding your rooster with your hens, it's always important to consider genetic diversity. Inbreeding can lead to genetic health issues in the offspring. If you're uncertain about the exact background of your rooster, it might be safer to avoid inbreeding.

To maintain a healthy and diverse flock, you could consider introducing a new rooster with different genetics in the future. As for your current flock of 9, keeping the rooster separate from the chicks can prevent inbreeding until you have a better understanding of the genetic makeup of your birds.

Feel free to ask if you have any more questions or need further advice on breeding and flock management!
