I have both roosters and hens of both breeds, White Jersey Giant and Rhode Island red, and they free range together. I incubated their eggs and most of the chicks are black with a white chest. I had no pure Rhode Island Reds hatch out, and five of forty-six appear to be pure White Jersey Giants. The other forty-one look just like Black Jersey Giant day old chicks. Can anybody explain how/why? Thanks...
