Anyone have an idea what silver laced wyandotte (Roo) and a white rock (hen) would make? I'm incubating 19 eggs right now and I'm eager to see what these guys will look like

As many have said, really neat idea for a thread. As our flock ages, we'll add a cross breed. We'll see. Enjoy!

You'll most likely get variations of the black and white SLW. Here is the easiest to understand genitics calculator I have found.

probably going to lay green eggs

rose combs are dominant

Depends on if the White Rock hen is dominant or recessive:
Dominant will give you all white chicks.
Recessive will give you all black chicks.
My experience with White Rocks though is that they cover up barring and you get some that will have " ghost" barring in the white chicks.

This is a 6mo old EE/RIR hen. Dark red body, black tail w/green shine. A nice muff. Name is RUDY

Are you sure that is a hen? Looks very roosterish to me.

Sorry, I didn't write that correctly. The parents are an EE roo over a RIR hen. Yes their offspring is a young roo. I thought for a long time it was female but then the neck & saddle feathers started to come in at 5months. He's yet to crow but male he is.
