What do y'all think you'd get if you mixed a Beilfelder rooster and black Black Australorp hen?

I believe it would end up being a giant chicken that's lays a profuse amount of eggs. I'm curious as to what the looks would be. I currently have 110 chicken, and I'm looking to maximize size and amount of eggs. Haven't heard or read anything on here about anyone trying it. I have 15 different breeds who all are homed together, I started with 4, but the chicken math got me.
 
Black with barring and leakage.
Females would have little to no leakage while males would have more.
I don't think they would be giant since an australorp isn't that big of a breed. How big is your rooster? Hatcheries have been putting out biels that aren't as big as I'd expect so...
Also how's their egg quantities? I've had australorps and mine didn't lay that great.

My beilfelder is 11 pounds 7 ounces, and most of the Black Australorp are laying 6 days per week. Massive eggs. So I was just thinking in theory. I have 36 eggs incubating now, but determining what they are would be next to impossible. My Australorp are an average 7 pounds, some a little more. They're both about 7 months old, I went chicken crazy and am not sure if the exact date except the ones I hatched on Labor Day 🤦

If you don't mind, can you explain the black barring stuff, leakage, and all... I know, I know... 110 chicken and I have no clue what that means 😂 but I'm just doing the chicken thing for the neighborhood, and I give away 50 to 60 eggs just about every day. Also run a pretty big garden that I give most the vegetables away. Barring mean stripes?

Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow

110 chickens with 36 in the incubator? Fun stuff! You go guy! Chicken math for the win!

Wishing you a great hatch!

We're glad you're here!

I appreciate it!!! Gonna be lost I guess when they all start laying, problem is I keep buying, and I keep hatching... So will they all completely lay at the same time 😂 that's a negative 👌 but still it's interesting stuff.
