I have a black jersey giant rooster chick and I have a 6 weeks old belgian quail bearded d'anver female. I know I have some time but....my question is...once old enough to breed, will my jersey giant try to mate with my d'anver? If so, will it hurt her (I would think yes)? And if somehow they managed to breed, will her eggs be bantam size or giant size or some size in between? I sure don't want to put my little Hawkie Belle in any danger!! I thought maybe with the size difference being so great that he may not notice her at all...that's my hope anyway. There are 22 other pullets in the run for him to focus on lol.
I'm new to chickens so I don't have the terminology down just yet, sorry lol. Thanks in advance for all your imput!
