Does anyone know how to breed Lohmann browns?

hi Everyone just wondering if anyone knows how to breed a Lohmann brown?

It's a red sex link. Hatcheries have cute names or generic name for the birds they offer. They differ by what the hatchery parent stock is; some of which are trademarked. Cinnamon Queen, Red Star, ISA Brown, Red Sex Link and so on.

Agreed

And you make red sex links by putting a RIR or New Hampshire rooster over a white Leghorn/production white/California White hen, or, less commonly (and less productively) a White Rock or Delaware hen.

let me find my extensive post about it

Here it is: https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...derstanding-the-genetics-behind-them.1322163/

I have found that using a Isa brown rooster(the actual brother of the Isa brown hens, not the Sire lines ofcourse) mated to local hens produce a very productive F1 cross with about 15% heterosis, healthy hens

RIR/NH rooster crossed to a Birchen/Extended black hens with dominant white will no yield visible sex links, they will all be yellow due to the chicks inheriting the E or ER chick down(E/eWh chicks)

I am absolutely certain you are right, I was just reciting the listed lineage of the RSLs I've bought over the years. I've only ever bred them by accident in my free range flock.

For those of us not deeply into genetics, would you list the breed crosses that have worked best for you?

[/QUOTE] For sex links? Fibromelanotic rooster over white leghorn

Thankyou for your help just 1 more question so does anyone know the exact 2 breeds that make the “Lohman brown”?

They are part New Hampshire but that was the only breed I could find. Couldn’t find anything that mentioned what other breeds they used.
