Mixed breeds

[draye]

hi , please guide me .
i've 1 white cochin rooster , 1 buff (golden cochin ) rooster , 1 buff hen , 1 black cochin hen AND 1 white ameraucana hen .
i've grown them together and now they are of the age of around 6 months .
white cochin rooster has started sexual activities with all 3 hen including white ameraucana hen .
WILL it affect the buff and black cochin hen eggs regarding any kind of mixing to next generation chicks as they are not in proper pair ?
what white ameraucana hen will produce ?
only buff hen has started laying eggs .
buff rooster is still growing .

The Cochin to Cochin matings will still be Cochins, but just not recognized varieties.

The cochin to Ameraucana with definitely be mix breed that may or maybe lay green/blue eggs if they resulting offspring are pullets.

Mix breeding is fine if you're not trying to breed for show. If all you want are backyard layers then any if the mix will be fine.

The Cochins I've had in the past weren't great layers but they do lay.

I have a few mixed birds in my flock. This is a cockerel my silkies hatched out this spring. I believe he is a White Chantecler/EE mix. I think he is a fabulous looking guy.

I got 2 from a November hatch that will be going outside as soon as it's warm enough as they didn't get time to acclimatize to our drastic winters


the bigger one is 3 weeks older and now has grey feathers interspersed, she's out of a barred rock rooster, white leghorn hen combo. think there might be some canary in there somewhere as she's been a singer since she was unzipping thus named "Happy" The little barred rock rooster is already at his new home

sweetpea here is barred rock rooster with buff orpington hen combo, sweet disposition but improvement was she will stand up for herself unlike momma. if she'd gotten brown instead of black would be pretty good camoflaug as our flock free ranges, but at least she won't get picked on as bad in a mixed flock like the buffs


here is a better picture of her, she knocked Happy off chair cause she was to close to me and she thinks I am her property lol
