Delaware over...

I have a Delaware rooster, and noticed we are getting more fertilized eggs these days from our hens. We have 2 Delaware, 2 New Hampshire reds, a Black Australorp, a Buff Orpington and a Easter Egger for hens. I've been trying to figure out what the offspring of various pairings would look like? The rooster has a good temperament so I would be stoked to pass on his genes and all the hens who are laying so far have been good layers! Any thoughts?

I'm not sure the genetics of New Hampshires and Easter Eggers genes are quite the jumble, but I do know how to put the other gals into the poultry genetics calculator :D This should be the results-

1. Delaware x Australorp- Barred (male and female)
2. Delaware x Buff Orp- Light Golden Barred (male) Silver Barred (female) (take with a grain of salt, the genetics behind Buff are a little crazy and wild!)

Post pictures when you hatch the chicks <3 Love to see them!
