i knew that you were working on them, and i seen others show interest. I know banty brown leghorns would be best. I mainly have a huge interest in what a cross with jearhon would produce. The males have basically the same look if you just switch the black and grey for white. And i like the wing bays of the jearhon. Are jearhon opposite though females are double barred and males single. Or am I wrong. Also in my initial question i was hoping to get some knowledge on genetic diffrences and how the crosses would turn out looking. And which sex of which breeds should i use toget the coolest looking results.

it is hilarious. We can call the changedup version production and the original heritage. I think most people like the history of the breed and want to keep it as close to the original as possible. Light class egg layer. is certain Farms or breeders want a different bird they can become well known for producing a off variety. If people want dual purpose they know to go to DC chickens. I don't think they should look any different. Nor do I really see a need for a name difference or a diffrent sop,. Its as simple as fallowing the same sop but advertising at your farm yours are grown bigger form is slightly different to produce a dual purpose CCL.

this really is a pointless argument. An SOP is needed for people who want to show chickens. Showing a chicken does not require it to be able to be eaten or produce meat. dual purpose is for farmers and people who want to have self subsistence. To me I don't know why a dual purpose breeder cares about showing Birds. It seems strange someone would want to change a breed just because they want dual purpose.

We're you serious about heritage and production? Those sound like really good names to me.

the Sex chromosomes still the same on all chicken breeds, so females only have one copy of the sex linked genes(sex linked barring on this case)... the other difference would be the Jearhon are based on eb instead of e+, and have other modifiers, so my best advise is use bantam light brown leghorns...

I've decided that I prefer my bigger hens to my smaller ones, they are by no means large, they're just a little more filled out. I'm not sure how this thread got so angry over a size discrepancy, but I can tell you, it's issues like this that made a new comer like me, want to run for the hills...but
Since this is the HYBRID thread, I have a question about a mix...
I have only Cream Roos, but need some extra egg layers, and want to hatch some of my red sex-link eggs. Would that cross be sexable at hatch?

It is not changing the breed. There are two views on the original intent of the breed. Some read Punnet's work and see layers. Others (myself included) think the intention was dual purpose as all birds of that era were usually used as dual-purpose. I have memories of my grandparent's Leghorns and they were more dual-purpose rather than the hybrid laying only version we have now.
