Leghorn roo and golden comet hen

[Chickenmomma20]

I'm wondering if anyone has hatched chick's from a white leghorn rooster and a golden comet hen, if so what will the chick's be and what will they look like?

Well I haven’t but it would be a very good egg production bird

Anytime you breed a hybrid, results are unpredicatble. With a Comet, where the hatcheries don't even agree on what the parent stock is in terms of breed, the results are even more unprdecitable.

Answer Yes, its been done.
Answer You get a non-Sex linked layer of some sort. It will likely lay tan-ish eggs of large size. Clean legs, single comb, good chance at being largely white with leakage. Beyond that?

Thank you, I'm still fairly new at the chicken thing and I have 2 golden comet hens when they get big enough to go with the rest of the flock I'm gonna have them with the leghorn and the other hens I currently have in there.

I didn't start with a Leghorn roo, my first was RUG - "Rooster of Unknown Genetics" - but I have bred Comets, and they remain part of my culling program.

Fortune Favor your efforts

Not exactly what your looking for but I did hatch out one chick that I believe was a white leghorn roo and a ISA brown hen. The ISA is pretty similar to the comet both being red sex link breeds. Anyway the one I got is a cockerel now 17 weeks old. The attached picture is from last week so closer to 16 weeks. The chicken could vary easily be mistaken for a leghorn at first look. The biggest thing that make him look mixed breed is that he has red earlobes instead of white.

mutts are fine for meat and eggs! if you are wanting a breed stay with heritage breeds!
