Hi all, I'm fairly new to breeding chickens and have never mingled outside of working towards a standard. I understand it will takes years to see a project through but I'm thinking of dabbling. I have a lavender Wyandotte roos I'm thinking of putting over my Light Brahma hens. I know I will not see color in F1 but what can I get from this cross, down the road. Some of my hens have a deep rich undercoat with some ticking but not a lot and 2 of my hens are real crisp but lack that deep under coat. Would one color type be better over the other? Where Roo is lavender Wyandotte, could F2 only be a sibling mating? Or would F1 go back to lavender Wyandotte. Working for comb, form and size? Eager for info before I get started. I will not be hatching until Feb or March, it's too cold here to start much sooner.. Links, info, advise all welcome!!
