How much does hybrid vigor decrease in the F2 generation?

I have two bators full of eggs from the LegO project (E.Orp + Leghorn). The first generation grew so fast it was a little shocking. They've turned out a good size. I'm selling off the hens to make space, so I sure hope I set enough eggs to get a good keeper or two to put back with the E.Orp.


I don't understand the legs of this F1 hen. All her siblings have pale white skin like their dad.

How much does hybrid vigor decrease in the F2 generation?

It depends on many factors but its usually 50% of the Original F1 heterosis. I will try to explain.

Parent A breed weight is 8 pounds,
Parent B breed weight is 10 pounds.

F1 is expected to weigh the average + around 10-15% so that would mean= That F1 should weig about 10.35 pounds themselves. But F2 would 9.6 pounds.

Looks green.

Yellow is what makes green with Fibro, or just dark shanks.

Interesting. Looks like I just found one more odd trait to add to my hypothetical breed in the future.

What's your hypothetical breed idea?

 

[Chickenosauurs_RexNo54]

What's your hypothetical breed idea?

To make a breed with most or all of the weird or rare traits found in many breeds and put it into one bird. It would be a bird with Fibro, Naked necks, crests, vulture hocks, fifth toes, yellow skin ( to make the skin green ), silkied, frizzled, and normal feathering, with other feather-types if there is any, lobster tail, able to fly, broodiness, moderate egg-laying, moderate meat, blue eggs from both Chinese and South American mutations, great foraging ability, depending on the strain entirely self-sufficient, or nearly self-sufficient, high predator awareness, and a lot more that I have to remember.

Lets keep the thread clean of project ideas unless there is a specific question about it.

Ok, sorry.

How am I supposed to ask anything specific if I don't have some details though?

Sounds interesting.
