Cross breeding question

[River campbell]

Does anyone Know what a Silverlaced barnevelder Hen cross RIR rooster would look like?

Should give you black and red pullets with incomplete lacing and black and gold/yellow cockerels with incomplete lacing. This is sex linked but may be difficult to tell in the chick down. Likely wIll become more obvious as they feather out I expect.

Nice adding onto that, Whats the minimum age for breeding and how do you stop it when they are young

Theres no minimum age for them to breed on their own. They just start doing it when they want to. Usually roosters start breeding way sooner than hens. And you don't need to stop it unless it's a danger to their health. However if you want to know when you can hatch chicks from their eggs than I'd assume probably when they're over 1 year old. I'm not sure what would happen if you tried hatching eggs from younger birds tho.

I'm no expert, but I hope this helps. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
