Mixing breeds

[Ashley Lamour]

Hi I'm new here, I have a hobby farm and have a mixed flock. I am curious about mixed backyard breeds. Are any a desirable mix? How you you get easter eggers/ olive Eggers. How do you end up with red or black sexlinks. Thank you for you time and expertise.

Not sure about the sexlinks but to get the olive eggers is to have a brown laying hen specifically a cuckoo Maran does the best and a Americana roo.

You can get em olive egg from any brown egg layer + blue egg layer. The darkness of the brown egg will determine the darkness of olive.
Sex links are produced by using a barred hen and a non-barred rooster. Here's a good article!
