Could I get a Leghorn hen that hatches eggs through a specific cross?
Hello everyone! I already have quite a few hens and roosters and I don't want to buy any more breeds. Among other things, I have almost 30 Leghorns that I love very much, but they have one drawback: they don't hatches eggs! I bought a dark brown Silkie rooster 2 months ago that I would like to cross with my Leghorn hens. What are the chances that at least some of the offspring will be laying eggs? Is one cross enough or should I continue with other crosses with Silkie roosters? I am open to any suggestions and ideas from you.
Thank you!
