Hello can someone explain something to me? I hope this forum is the right one for my questions.
I have a breeding paid of golden sebrights in their own coop. I have a Sicilian buttercup who was getting bullied in my main coop so i put her in with the sebrights.
My sebright hen has not laid any eggs yet. I dont know why shes almost a year old. My buttercup lays 1 white egg daily. A few weeks ago I caught the sebright rooster breeding the buttercup. I took 5 of her eggs and put them in our incubator. I candled the eggs and all 5 have life in them.
So my question is...what traits do the fathers give to the chicks?
Will the chicks born be tiny like the father or bigger like the mother? What can I expect from these chicks?
Im sure they will be cute just wondering how this works with 2 different breeds? Thanks to anyone who cares to explain.
