RIR Roo X Plymouth Rock Hen

[StrawberryHouseMouse]

Oh thats neat. I wish I could see the roosters too. I was trying to think of some good sexlink birds. But Im not too fond of the black sexlink. Thats why I was wondering about the red sexlinks. And then someone told me I could use a RIR roo and white rock hen. Since I like white birds over black birds I was wondering what they would turn out like.

Found a couple more photos to help you see what you can expect from the cross betwenn a RIR Roo and White Rock Hen.

Here are the chicks. Any yellow / white chicks like the one of the left will typically be male and any redish chicks like the one on the right will be female.

I did find a picture of a white cockeral at 10 weeks old.

And once again the pullet from this cross at 10 weeks old.

To complete the entire famliy tree here are Mom and Dad at 1 year old.

How's that for a complete BYC answer to your question? Gald to help and share some information.

What are the chances you have pis of the offspring of a White leghorn hen and a RIR roo? Lol yeah I know pressing my luck...just curious...

So sorry but I don't have any white leghorns. My 95% guess is the color results would be very similar. If I run across a correct answer I will share it with you.
