Can a RIR/RIR cross produce hatching eggs?

[PoultryGhana]

If I cross a male & female Rhode Island Red, what would be the outcome of their offspring. Will they be good layers? I need to be educated in this. Thanks

you would get a RIR its only when you mate different breeds that you will get mutts or a different breed created. SOme cross to improve characteristics in breeds some do it for fun or accidental My one and onyl RIR hasnt laid an egg in 4 months-she is almost 4??? she laid huge eggs for a good year

Ummm...if you cross two RIRs you will have purebred chicks if you hatch the eggs? No offense intended just don't understand the question...

I have pullets and a cockerel that are RIRs. RIRs are good layers, but are a bit temperamental. They can be a bit on the aggressive side, especially the roosters. I like mine, but I don't love them. They are good production birds, but don't have any endearing qualities that make them special.

You will get more Rhode Island reds, and they will have the temperment and egg laying capabilities of the parent stock. Like begets like.
