Sex-linked Deleware x Rhode Island Red cross

[Maintguyal]

Hi, trying to start new flock with sex-linked hybrids. Delawares x Rhode island reds. Several years ago, i read an article BYC about a breeder that was improving their deleware flock for both eggs and meat. Anyone know the name and info of this breeder. Any recommendations on excellent Delaware stock? Excellent Rhode Island red stock? I intend to keep one small "purebred" flock of Delawares and one small flock of Reds. Then, i will use the first generation hens for layers and the roosters for meat. Any information about earlier articles or info on breeders would be much appreciated. Thanks, and good fortune to all.
