RIR & Sultan cross - odd mix

[nicolevg]

We have 6 RIR hens from McMurray Hatchery. Our free chick from the hatchery is a male Sultan. Not that I have any interest in letting any of their offspring to be hatched, but what would that cross breeding look like? Rather odd, I'd imagine.

We planned on keeping the 7 chickens together and letting him be the rooster of the flock to protect and manage the hens & most likely produce fertile eggs to eat. But we did not intend on letting any of them become chicks if one of the hens eventually goes broody. All chickens are currently 4 week old pullets.

I’m not sure but I think white Sultans are recessive white with a black base, just because there are black Sultans out there.
I imagine you’d get black with red leakage, vulture hocks, feathered legs, a crest, beard, double single comb.

Sounds so strange! Thank you. Don’t think we’ll be trying that combo.
