Marans roo and isa browns

[Mark Armstrong]

I have a Marans roo and a half dozen isa browns, I'm fairly sure I have seen some fertile yolks on the few eggs of theirs I have cracked and eaten, Will this be a good mix if I try to hatch some of these eggs, Thanks

I don't know what your goals are or what you would consider a good mix. If you are after meat the ISA Browns are fairly small, the cross would make fair sized cockerels but not a great size. If you are after eggs, it should be a great mix.

Just mainly for eggs, I bought them together a couple of months ago and they have remained together in their own separate coop and run, I have eleven hens in a different area, guess I could put the roo in with them, Rir's, sex links and americauas, would that be a better mix? Thanks

If it is for eggs it is hard to beat ISA Browns.
