I think I have finally chosen my desired breed. I believe I will be going with the Rhode Island Reds. Currently, I have 3 hens getting close to laying age with no rooster. A buddy of mine is giving me his extra rooster which will be a RIR and White Leghorn mix. From what I have read.. if I mate them together the offspring will be a "mutt" and not purebred. How will this affect my egg laying or will it? Will the White Leghorn eventually be bred out of it? Will I get RIR, RIR mixed and White Leghorn as possible offspring?
On another note, I will also be mating a Black Laced Wyandotte Rooster with a Gold Laced Wyandotte Hen.. anyone know what I will be likely hatching?
Would love to see pictures if anyone has these mixes already or know anyone that has..
