Rhode Island Red Rooster X White Leghorn Hens

[BaileyMChicks]

I have a chick that is 3 days old that looks like a chipmunk. She ( I'm 99.9 % positive) was from one of my California white hens crossed with a RIR roo.....what do you think it will look like when the feathers come in?

She a red-sex link and a female cuz the male have more silver or white color to them and she should be mostly with white on the rear half and tail feathers and great brown egg layers. I breed them myself you can also use a rir roo and a white rock hen or a new hampshire roo and white rock or a rir roo and a rhode island white hen.

it turned out her mom was an EE banty hen...She did turn out to be a rusty red color with blue in her wings and tail. Thanks though.

this is my rooster who is a cross between a red rooster and a California White hen:

going along with what Rareroo said, this rooster was white as a chick with a few black dots.

Question when you hatched theses did you notice if the males were lighter then females at birth?

I'm wanting White Leghorns and I'm wondering what kind of bird would be made by a very dark dark red body and almost black with green tint tail feathers Rhode Island Red Rooster and a standard White Leghorn? Thank you

I've crossed a RIR rooster with White leghorns recently, and am getting black chicks with black beaks. I did not expect this! But they are hatching now. They are supposed to be golden comets.
