Just when I thought I was beginning to understand!

Right?? Omg the complexity, I just can’t imagine what will happen. Thank goodness for @rural mouse because egg color I could probably work out but feather patterns on these mixes mmm no clue!

Woohoo! Awesome action photo!

And I see two velociraptor tracks in the snow in that first photo

So my Orps are laying normal sized eggs now and the shells are hard, I am gonna run a test hatch of 6- 12 eggs and see what the fertilization rate looks like.

I have a 22 egg incubator though sooooo what, if any crosses would you do?

FBCM - Brownie - drk brown eggs
EE Cinnamon - med green eggs
Welsummer Ginger - reddish tan with speckles eggs
Amerucana peanut - Blue eggs
EE flour and sugar - dark mossy green with speckle eggs
Silverrudds Blue Biscotti- light green eggs
2 Azure eggers (roadrunner look) - teal blue and med green eggs

Can cross with the 2 jubilee orps roosters for an interesting feather pattern or for egg color.

The jubilee pattern is so complicated I can’t wrap my head around the possible outcomes lol so I would love to hear your opinions on which eggs you would set, if any.

All the above!

It's all speculation at the moment. I'll play with the genetics calculator when I'm at lunch.

Isn't that one of your Azure leghorns?

If it's got Leghorn in it I count it as a Leghorn. I have four. Josey (Exchequer Leghorn), Felicitas and Agathae (Cream Legbar) and Gaby (Welsummer).
