To anyone that can help with my curiosity,
I have had many Golden Comets over the years and I absolutely love them. About a year ago I bought an incubator and I started to save the fertilized eggs from my Comets. The roosters in the Comet batch are white with a few black feathers on the tail and around the neck. They are not very friendly (which could be because there are only a few of them out of the 25 hens I have in the coop). When I bred the Golden comets and crossed them together I now have about 16 chicks in the teenager stage. I knew that I wasn't going to produce more comets, because they are a cross already... but are the chicks I have now going to be worth keeping? And when I sell them, what do I call them? I know now that I need to purchase White Plymouth Rocks and New Hampshires to make Golden Comets, but does anyone know if these chicks will be good layers? Or if I should keep them around? Thanks again!
