Hi all. We are looking to add some meat chickens to our backyard flock. We currently have 11 hens - Dominiques, Australorps, Ameraucanas, and RIR. We also have two roosters, a brown leghorn and an Ameraucana. I'd like to add Delawares and maybe a few Jersey Giants, but I'd like to avoid adding another rooster. Would I still expect to get decent sized meat birds crossing Delawares and Jerseys with Ameraucana and Leghorn? Or will my smallish roosters result in just average offspring? Or is there no way to know without trying?
Thanks for any feedback and ideas.
