Nats Chickens
Free Ranging
Hi everyone, I want to know if I can create my own 'breed' out of half and half chooks (I am just fancying, not super serious) . All my current girls are 1/2 and to get a rooster I was thinking next time I had a broody I would hatch out chicks. (This is my only option) I can get fertile eggs off a farmer friend for dirt cheap but with a really low hatch rate. (1-3 chicks per dozen eggs) I have no idea what the resulting chicks would be but I know the roo is an Australorp and some of the hens include, ISA Browns, Light something, Partridge something, Blue something and Red something. So once I got my roo and another hen or so, could I create my own breed from them? Once I knew what they and their offspring looked like could I create my own 'breed'?
