Just hatched my first mutts....RIR/cochin cross

[possumhunter]

This was my first time hatching and I ended up with 17 out of 42...not too bad since some were shipped and I wasn't positive on the fertility of mine because I have one Roo with 7 ladies.

My question is I am wondering if anyone knows what the egg production will be like with this cross. Rhode Island Red hen and a banty cochin Roo. I tried to search, but had a hard time finding anything about them. Also wondering if they will be closer to the banty size or regular size bird.

Straight outcrosses are impossible to predict. They can be all over the map in size and production and type.

walkswithdog is right, it is hard to predict. So far though, in my limited experience mine have laid standard eggs.

Oh well, guess I'll just have to be patient and find out! Thanks for the help!
