I have a BLRW cock and SLW, GLW, BLRW hens, along with a Partridge Rock, Buff Rock, and New Hampshire hens.

I took about 30 eggs and put them in the incubator and they should be piping any day now, I am kind of curious as to what the matings will result.

Can Anyone help me with this?

I will post pictures of the chicks as soon as they fluff up!

Thanks,
James

Here are some of the chicks...

BLRW X PR?


BLRW X GLW?


BLRW X SLW?


BLRW X NHR for sure

 

[jhamblin]

Any Idea of what these guys will turn out looking like as they mature?

Cute chicks. Can't help with what they will turn out looking like though.
The BLRW x SLW arethe prettiest though. Thinking that the silver will be turne to blue though.

Thanks! The Rooster is a splash, so doesn't that mean all the offspring will be blue?

 

[draye]

I'm not really sure on that, I think that redcan override the all blue stuff.
I think that all blue pertains to Blue, black, splash.

 

[jhamblin]

i mean, whatever would be black would be diluted to blue.

I can give you an idea, or my best guesses on some of these crosses.

A splash BLRW male over....

BLRW hens = splash and blue laced red chicks

GLW hens = all blue laced, base color likely range from red to gold.

SLW hens = blue laced red pullets, males more closely ressembling silver laced with brassy hackles and saddles.

Part. rock hens = red based chicks with various degrees of blue lacing, likely ranging somewhere between single laced and penciled, funky rose combs

New Hamp. hens =red based chicks with blue tails and trim, some flecking likely, funky rose combs

Buff rock hens = red to buff based chicks , likely with some blue flecking, funky rose combs
