Pekin X Swedish Cross Breeds

[FarmerSeth]

Well we’d like to see a pic of yours too!

Thought you’d never ask! Lol. Here she is at two days old (yesterday). The third is her (Pekin-Blue Swedish) in the brooder sleeping with a week-old Delaware.

How beautiful! What a nice mix and hopefully she'll not have leg issues since she isn't full Pekin.

Doing our first time incubating eggs and we have 3 signs of life.. The mother is a Pekin and the Father is a Blue Swedish. I am curious to see peoples photos of their feathered Pekin X Swedish cross breeds.. If you have them please show. Looking forward to see if i can hatch these 3 eggs out and see how they will grow.

A mix breed.

Does anyone else have any other pekin x blue Swedish pictures? Or updated photos? My ladies just started laying and I’m debating breaking out the incubator in a few days. Mom would be pekin and Dad blue Swedish.

From what I've read and learned, a lot would depend on what genes the mom pekin carries. You really won't know until you incubate and see what hatches, I believe. Since white (pekin) essentially covers up any indication of other genes she carries. I could be wrong though, as I'm still learning. I have some pretty swedish mixes from my last hatch but not sure what they are mixed with.

I’ve been trying to read some old posts about genetics but honestly it just goes over my head

If you have some pics of your Swedish mixes id love to see.
