Mix breeding

[catwoman1330]

What would I get if I mix an Old English Game Rooster with a White Leghorn Hen?
They are about the same in size.

A good meat bird. It will be dual purpose, for meat and eggs.use the males for meat. It is a classic cross. It does make difference which breed is sire or dam. Best, Karen

White birds that might be more broody than Leghorns, and will lay better than Old English.

I didn’t think that OEG were considered as Meat type of breed, they look as scrawny(slim) as Leghorns, the cross will result in all white chicks and all white adults with some degree of leakage, they will be good egg layers.

Might be confusing Old English Games with Indian Games (what we call Cornish in the U.S.).

actually quality old english have very full breasts of course not like cornish cross but for a small bird they pack much breast. plus most game birds tend to be breast heavy unlike their meditterainian cousins.
