Cross breeding

[TheOldRedHen]

We have a Westfalische Totleger (deathlayer) cockerel and a mixed BCM x SFH hen. (mother was BCM, rooster SFH) My question is, if we were to cross breed them, what colors would we get? Would this be a bad idea?

This might help you out...I plugged it in and it's hard to say but I think you'd get silver pullets and cream/golden roosters with messy pencilling or spangling...
good luck with the cross

Thank you so much! I found that calculator, but had no idea how to use it. I appreciate the easy explanation.

I have a BCM/blue cochin bantam/blue Icebar rooster, he is regular sized, with a cochin tail, but looks like a BCM.

I also cross bred a silky and a NN to get a show girl, but she didn't come out naked necked, or fluffy just regularly feathered.

Oh the BCM mix I mentioned above is a 1/4 LO.

Your likely to get black/mostly black offspring, most will have some penciling. Some will have leakage.
