Need ideas/info on what makes what?

[WyanLuv]

So I have some silver laced and golden wyandottes, some rir pullets and one lonely barred rock pullet and was just wondering if anyone has gotten anything interesting from crossing any of these? I immaturely thought at one time I could get a blue laced red by crossing the silver and the gold wyandottes but that was quickly cleared up after talking with some folks on here. So, has anyone had any interesting chickens come from crossing these kinds of chickens?

I believe the rocks and RIR make a sexlink, but since you have all pullets

That won't do you much good!

i thought that rocks and RIRs make black sex links?

Yeah I wasn't sure if they were black or red sexlinks, but if the op only has pullets it wouldn't matter anyway!

I'm not totally sure, but I believe the SLW female and RIR male cross makes Golden Comets which are supposedly VERY good layers.

Yes, but it has to be RIR rooster over a BR hen. Not the other way around.

You could produce barred or black wyandottes from the silver laced and barred rock cross.

You could also produce a black tailed red wyandotte from the gold laced wyandotte and rhode island red cross.

It would take years of breeding to get the birds you want. One cross will not make the new varieties.
