I have this cross. RIR rooster, which I hatched last year from imported eggs and White Leghorn hen which I hatched - I bought the eggs from a hatchery. The little pullet hatched December 21st last year. She has some black spots which surprised me, no red at all (disappointing). The baby chicks are from the same parents, hatched Jan 22nd, most are white with one or two having black spots, but obviously still too early. Do you happen to know what colour eggs will they lay?
I'm confused as to what you hatched and when you crossed the Rhode Island Red with Leghorn?
Correct me if I'm wrong but you hatched Rhode Island Reds and hatched white Leghorn last year. The birds pictured are the result of Red over Leghorn. If this is correct I don't see how you'd produce a white pullet with black spots. Are you certain no other cock bird had access to the leghorn hens?
