Cross-breeding Information / Link Request

[AZ Heat]

Is there a good resource or thread about cross-breeding certain varieties of chickens?

I'm wanting to know what to expect if I was to hatch some eggs from a variety of breeds.

I've got a RIR rooster and Delawares, Buff Orpingtons, RIR, Barred Rocks, Australorps, White Leghorns, Easter Eggers... Looking into others, but would like to know some good combinations.

What I know so far is if I breed my RIR rooster with:
Delawares = Red Sex Link
Barred Rocks = Black Sex Link

The rest I'm not sure, which is why I'm wondering if there's a good resource for this.

Thanks!

This is a great thread about red and black sex links, but I'm wondering about more than that. I've been looking all over but there's such conflicting information, I'm hoping there's a reliable source. For instance, some say that breeding a RIR rooster with a White Leghorn results in a Production Red (which I thought was a cross between a RIR and a New Hampshire Red) and some say this results in a Brown Sex Link. Still others say it doesn't result in anything special at all. And I can't find any information on throwing a Buff Orpington into the mix... Just really curious and wondering if there's any information out there or if these mixes just creates a messy mixed-up flock.

Holy cow! I'm going to need to get out my secret decoder ring and spend some time figuring that one out. Thanks though... looks pretty impressive.​
