I wanna cross breed my silkie roo with some heat tolerant breed

[BlueBaby]

I did some research. All the heat tolerant only breeds are flighty or non-hearty.

The only hearty, non-flighty chickens I found were heat and cold tolerant. These also do well in confinement, but prefer a large pen and some free range time.
Egg production is weekly average and can vary from hatchery to hatchery, as can broody behavior.

Brahma; 3 eggs, broody.

Delaware; 4 eggs.

Naked Neck; 4 eggs.

New Hampshire Red; 5 eggs, can be broody.

Rhode Island Red; 6 eggs, hens can be aggressive to other breeds, I will find out myself, as I have 4 Rhode Island Reds and 4 Barred Rocks as chicks nearly 6 weeks old.View attachment 2729528
So far they get along.
Barred Rocks are people friendly, they come to me and I can pet them.
Rhode Island Reds are slowly coming closer to me but I have yet to pet one. GC

The Naked Neck's can go broody too! I just rehomed my NN/Breese mixed hen that went broody 2 times this year already. She was a good layer when she wasn't trying to go broody, and layed large eggs.

so when trust has been gained and you can pick them up they wont be as flighty, right?

I have both "flighty" and "non-flighty" breeds. 5 adults, 4 "teenagers", and 12 chicks.

I do not have even one chicken who cares to be picked up and held.

I hope that's true, they are my first Rhode Island Reds. GC

NNs are not rare. You can get them at every hatchery about

ok thanks, the only local hatcheries I have are shoppers and tractory supply, I have never been to tractor supply but I have been to shoppers many times they mainly focus on meat birds and thats about it

You need to look at the mail-order hatcheries (all online) -- Ideal, Cackle, Murray McMurray, Welp, etc.
