I got kosher kings this year. From what I understand. If I keep some hens to use for chicks they won’t breed true with my kosher king roosters. My question is do they produce eggs in any number that would be worth keepin a few hens or do they end up being like the Cornish. I have some other roosters, white Jersey giants, gold laced Wyandotte, blue Wyandotte, welsummer, Ameraucana and a Turken. Would one of them work to use to fertile the eggs of the kosher king.

Just about any rooster is able to mate with just about any hen.
Any chicken can be eaten.

Crossing Kosher Kings with each other, or with your other roosters, will probably give you chickens that grow faster and bigger than most other chickens; but they will probably not grow as big or as fast as the kosher kings you bought.

I do not know for sure how many eggs the Kosher King hens produce, but my guess is that they probably lay medium-well, as long as they don't get too fat and die. I'd predict a short lifespan, though.
