My Lavender Araucana chick looks like it's going to be a roo. So I'm thinking about trying to cross it with some of my hens. I have a white Orpington, and 2 Rhode Island red type hens (probably some sort of hybrid, they came from an egg farm). Also 3 stripey bantams (barred cockerel x silkie).
I'm wondering if crossing him with the reds would give me chickens that would lay lots of large blue eggs, and just wondering what crossing with the Orpington would produce.
Has anyone any thoughts on if this would work, or any pics if anyone has done these crosses before would be brilliant
Look forward to what you think...
