Red Ranger rooster bred to a RIR hen

[chickmagnet1218]

Hey guys! I have a question for you. I was wondering if anyone knew what breed would come from a Red Ranger roo and a RIR hen.
Does anyone know or has anyone ever had a red ranger breed a RIR? Anyone know what the egg production will look like? It cant be that common of a cross because I can not find out anything on what to expect. We just hatched 4 of these little guys. It was our first hatching experience!

Just guessing, but since red rangers are a cross breed I would guess that there will be inconsistencies in chicks from the cross.
egg production might suffer some and feed to egg conversion might suffer a bit more.
personally I like my hens a bit heavier than what passes for heritage heavy breeds from the hatchery.
They eat more but there is more for the stew pot when they are done laying

How did your chicks turn out? Do you use them for meat birds?
