Wondering what color hen crosses I can get from him? I have a mixed flock with mixed breeds & varied feather colors. I would love to do a hatch from him but I enjoy a variety of colors. Making sure they won’t all come out looking the same if I hatch some eggs this spring. I would assume since Buttercups lay white eggs, that he would carry the white egg gene on and I could get white eggs or lighter versions of the colors I get now if I hatch his offspring?
In case the info is needed, purebred hens I have:
Black Copper Marans
Rhode Island Blue
Blue Australorp
Blue Marans
Lavender Orpington
Welsummer
Speckled Sussex
Blue Laced Red Wyandotte
Buff Naked Neck
Buff Orpington
Bielefelder
Cream Legbar
Barred Rock
Silver Laced Wyandotte
White Leghorn
The rest of my hens are EE or hybrid so parentage may vary.
Thanks!
