I have 22 chickens total (2 roosters and rest hens). Several breeds of hens! I got several distinguishable breeds so my daughters could tell them apart and name them. I wanted them interested and learning! Breeds i currently have of hens are New Hampshire Red, Ameraucana, Welsummer, Black Jersey Giant, Buff Orpington, Cuckoo Maran, Australorpe, Red Sex link, Buff Brahma, Silver Laced Wyandotte and a Barred rock that I am having a hard time getting to lay. It may be an addiction or Chicken mathmatics.
As you can tell we have several for more egg laying purposes and some for unique looks and colors. I will quit rambling and get to the question. I have a Very pretty Cuckoo Maran rooster starting to come of age. I have been playing around with the idea of incubating some of the eggs. But I cant find much info on cuckoo maran rooster crossed with these. I found a chicken calculator but i couldnt make sense of it personally. Part of it was english and part some not so english. Any suggestions on personal experience or opinion on which would be good crosses
or even ones to stay away from?
Thanks for any help you can give!
