crossing a game rooster with a dominic hen

[woogie g3]

i put one of my dominic hens in the my old English game rooster hoping to cross them,(i moved her today and she used to be with a dominic rooster).

How long till the eggs are by the game rooster?
and will they hatch alright?
and the hen has a rose comb and rooster a single comb so what will the chicks have ?? thanks for any info!

about three to four weeks for the game rooster's egg
they should hatch fine.
they would be rose combed chicks

Keep us posted on this effort. I will be doing same starting February with one rooster and then again in April with another. I am gonna try to make 36 chicks per patch using as many dom hens as needed.


What color-type is rooster?

Let it happen!

Could you photograph chicks at hatch. I am looking to improve color sexing at hatch. Some of my doms you can not color sex and others only 90% accurate.

If he is a BB Red and you bred him to Dominique hen/s then the chicks would be Sex-linked.
From that cross --
Males (chicks) will be barred and hens (chicks) will be black all should be rose combed.

No. That is why my interest is peaked. The barring effect given by Chris may not be evident with chicks still covered by down.

That will be a beautiful sex linked cross with rose combs!

I think I'll subscribe to this thread... don't forget to post pics!!!
