Hello everyone! I haven't been online on backyard much as hubby and I have been rebuilding and enlarging coups, runs ect...
I have also been dealing with new chicks and family matters.
This past January I received the surprise pullet special from Ideal and I love those birds! In that shipment I got 4 light brown leghorn
pullets and have since bought them a rooster and they are separated from the rest of my breeds. Now on Nov.13th I received my 2nd
batch of surprise pullets and in this batch is 5 ideal 236 white leghorns.
Now here is my question....I plan to put the white leghorns in the brown leghorn pen when they get grown, what will the cross of white leghorn hen X brown leghorn rooster make? Will they just be mutts? Or will they be a specific breed type?
Thanks for the genetics question help!
