I currently have pure breed Australorps, regular size. I'm trying to decide which cockerel to keep as i cant keep them all cause that's just asking for trouble and i don't want to have separate pens.
I currently have 5 white and 2 splash cockerels
and 3 white, 1 black and 1 blue pullet.
I would like to hatch my own eggs next summer i do get a broody or i'll have to pull out the incubator again
I would like to expand the number of all colours if possible.
With only having a small number of girls, keeping 2 cockerels would not be feasible and i don't think it would be fair on the girls.
My question is....
Does anybody here know what colours i would get if i kept the white cockerel for breeding over the black and blue pullets ?
or the other option of keeping the splash cockerel over the white, black and blue pullets ?
I did find this... Black x Splash = 100% Blue
Blue x Splash = 50% blue and 50% splash
But... i can't find anything on breeding the white over the black and blue pullets.
any information will be greatly appreciated
