Mixed breeds

[nicalandia]

I have sume 'mutts' in the bator and a few of these under the broody right now- just wondering if anyone has these mixes and can share a few pics?

wynodotte/blue andalusion
Blue orp/ blue andalusion
Buff orp/ blue andalusion

Wyandotte/Blue andalusian cross will produce 50% solid black chicks(with yellow underbelly) and 50% solid blue chicks(with yellow underbelly)

Blue Orp/Blue Andalusian cross will produce 25% solid Splash chicks(with yellow underbelly) 25% solid black chicks(with yellow underbelly) and 50% solid blue chicks(with splash underbelly)

Buff Orp/Blue andalusian cross will produce 50% solid black chicks and 50% solid blue chicks(with yellow underbelly)

I am planning on obtaining a White Orpington Rooster, but all of my girls are 5 Buff Orpingtons, and 8 Buff Rocks. How can I determine the color of the egg with the cross, and how do I determine the type of the cross, I am still new to chicken keeping and I was wondering how this worked. Please reply and help me figure this out!!!

My Light Brahma hen turned out to be a rooster.

He's in with 2 Dark Brahma hens, 2 Delaware hens, an Australorp, and a Lanshan.

If we move to the larger, more rural place we're considering and I hatched eggs next spring what would those crosses be likely to look like?

The Great Chicken Calculator...if you can figure out how to use it. I had a heck of a time!!

I have a chicken calculator in my head. LB = Light brahma

LB x dark brahma = light brahma like ( color) with false spangling on the breast (females) smutty back MALES = smutty light brahma color

LB x delaware = light brahma like in body type with light brahma color

LB x australorp = black adult birds may show some white on breast, head, hackles body type more like brahma

LB x langshan= same as above black birds will tend to have body type like langshan- upright posture

Combs on birds will be weird looking because the pea comb ( brahma) is incompletely dominant to the single comb gene-some thing half way in between a single and pea comb- lots of variation if you hatch a bunch of birds.

feathered shanks and feet on all the offspring

This is Spike, my mixed roo. I believe him to be part Cream Brabanter, but the rest is a guess. His entire chest is covered in hearts. We joke and say we should have named him Barry White,"Hey Baby, I've Got Nothin' But Love For You".

Behind him is Papa, my Silver Ameraucana.

Gracies Flock... Brabanters & Appenzeller Spitzhauben have hearts all over their chests ....Because I'm not sure of his exact mix I've had a heck of a time duplicating him. The closest I got was with a Light Brahma, but that boys chest got tear drops instead of hearts..

Thank you. I won't be able to hatch unless I move, but I was curious. Sounds like I'd end up with an attractive second generation.
