Hi everyone,
I have some silver laced, gold laced, and speckled sussex hens and have been thinking about adding a rooster to the group and allowing some eggs to hatch. This is purely for fun, no showing aspirations or specific breeding goals. So for those of you out there with a good understanding of chicken genetics, what color rooster would you look for if you wanted some cute/interesting little genetic experiment chicks from these hens? I've always wanted a brahma, so that's what I'm leaning towards in terms of breed. In addition to the usual buff, light, and dark colors, I know there is also a partridge and a lavender available in my area but I imagine they will be snatched up soon (if they haven't been already). So, what do you guys think?
