The new hampshire reds the comets and orpingtons are all in different coops with there roo's to keep them pure bred then i have a coop that has alittle of everything for people who wants mixed.

Thank you. I have a customer who wants a NH hen or two and since I'm hatching several breeds in April, had a thought maybe I could hatch a group so she could get a couple then, but I'm not sure I have bator space for this go-round. Good to know you have them, though!

isnt golden comet a sexlink, so it will not hatch true???

 

[Confusedfarmer]

To tell you the truth im not sure on that one i just have them with there roosters and so i call them pure bred im sorry if there not.

Yes, a Golden Comet is a sexlink hybrid layer and will not breed true.

Confused Farmer-
If you want to continue the sexlink Gold Comets, put your RIR hens in with a White Rock rooster. That is the sex link combination.

Hope this helps.
