can my bantam be bred by a large americauna?

[chickenboy1993]

my buff cochin went broody and is setting on somewhere around 8 or 9 eggs and i dont know if they are fertile because the only roo i have seen on top of her is a large americauna. can he be breeding her?

I have wondered the same.. Have you cracked any eggs to see if they are fertile?? There is areally good sticky in the Icubating section on telling fertile from infertile..

yes its only well hit and miss when the bantam is the roo on full size hens but big roos get the job done it might just be a little harder on the little hen having a large roo on her

I had two bantam friz. One friz on non and they laid eggs that hatched. The dad was a standard Delaware. The one chick that lived had the appearance of a Delaware. So it must be dominante over a red Friz. By the way for those who read this. Is a cochin w/ the friz gene but not frizzed considered a non friz or just a cochin?

So yeah an ameraucana dad can breed w/ a bantam.
