What would I get if I crossed...

My white Americana/auracana roo (not sure which) with my red sexlink girls? Any thoughts?

Since you're not sure which breed your rooster is, that tells me he's an Easter egger. So, crossing him with red sex links will give you a grab bag of white, red and possibly black birds, it will just be a crapshoot as to color with all those mixed genetics. If he has a nice pea comb, you could get some green egg laying pullets from mixing them...again, kind of a crapshoot as to egg color, not knowing his genetic background. They'll probably be nice, colorful layers! The question when hatching is, what to do with the 50% roosters?

Thanks for the info! He does have a nice pea comb, and a wonderful personality! Hmm, yep, what to do with the extra boys! Hehe. My main want is egg production, regardless of color. So the possibly green egg layers excites me!
