oh forgot to say the girls are large fowl - there doesnt seem too much of a size difference though.

My sister has a Pekin cock running with lf. Copper blue, rocks, stars , leghorn

I didn't think he would be up to it but he is 3 eggs fertile. It was a pure White very big chick no fluffy feet

Didn't live I helped out it's was 48hrs over. But put some more in.  Be nice if got a copper blue x Pekin he's black.

Best chickens are muttleys

I'm not good with types of chicken but I think your chooks are hybrids. Whilst it is not impossible for them to reproduce it is unlikely. :(
Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted!!

Hybrids can and do reproduce, but as the hens ARE hybrids, it would be very difficult to say what the chicks would be like.

You should end up with a very pretty mixed flock, based on the above answers!

I'll give it a go then - Boy Bird is coming tomoro and hopefully will settle in. Mostly worried about him being a bantam and my girls will overpower him.

fingers crossed for magnificent placid ginger and blue striped chicks which will lay massive eggs every day! (well I can dream!)
