Easter Egger Light Brahma cross

[janiedoe]

What is your boy Goliath mixed with?

I can go back a couple of generations.
His mother is a dark brahma.
His father, Doris, an easter egger. Doris' parents were a big blue english orpington rooster and a splash ameraucana hen.

I have two....

I want to have primarily Brahmas and plan to get two easter egger hens, three Brahma hens, and eventually a Brahma roo. Would it be an issue with the easter egger hens due to the size difference of the birds? The roo is far off in the future right now, but I want to know if there would be an issue if he managed to get to the EE's.

My Brahma Roo is such a gentle lad with the girls, even tries to help sit on eggs. Unfortunately, I had to remove him to a separate area because he's now twice their size, they don't want to squat for him, and he crushes the eggs when he sits on them.

Golly is such a good rooster. He never bother my bantam hens and he is very gentle with his own girls.
