...anyone ever see this cross before? If so, what did the chicks look like? Ought to produce a dual purpose chick, right?

Oh that's cool!!! I am looking forward to seeing how many we get and what they will grow up to be like. Thinking they ought to be pretty docile, as both breeds have some similar traits, eh? Thanks for sharing that calculator - that was really awesome!!!

Remember the Split pied/mottled is recesive,so it will only show up if you breed the off spring back to each other or the SS....

You will see my SS X BO chicks as well as plumage development to juvenile stage.

So Very cool!!! Thanks friends!!! I love the red coloring. For some reason this year I ended up with all black or black/white chicks - can't wait to get more of the red color back into the flock!!!

Thank you again.
