My son (the one in the picture) has wanted to incubate some eggs. We have this rooster (not sure what breed he is) that we got free in a trade, and production red hens. Does anyone know what type chicks we can expect? He keeps asking me and I can't give him any type of answer.

there is no telling till you breed and hatch some but you rooster looks like it could be a light sussex

If it is a light sussex roo and a production red, you can get white chicks that look light sussex but end up with lots of black feathers dotting thier backs as well as red-orange chicks with white on the feathers on their backs. I had a RIR pullet in with my light sussex roo for a while last year and that is what hatched from the eggs. Now if you have a RIR roo and aLigth sussex hen you would get sex linked chicks.

Color I'm not sure but with those breeds the hens will be nice layers. Would you be eating the roosters or?

I have a few people wanting the roosters. The rest I will caponize and they will become dinner.
