Thank you. The cock is legbar with red leakage so I'm assuming it has some isa or RIR but a great laying breed. The hens I have, some are fibro and some are easter eggers, don't lay very consistently. So I'm just wondering what egg production genes are dominant. Will these offspring have the potential to lay like a legbar hybrid or mutt potential (anything possible)?I don't believe so. Legbars, in my experience, are quite prolific layers, so at the very least I don't think they carry any genes for reduced production even if there was some kind of linkage there. Birds with fibro tend to be fancier breeds not bred for production, so any kind of connection there to lower productivity is likely just coincidental. But I don't know this for a fact, of course, I'm only basing this on what I have or haven't heard about the genes.
