Rhode Island Red cockerel cross variations

jonny1982 · « **on:** April 06, 2008, 20:37 »

I keep Rhode Island Reds and i would like to get some more hens to cross with Rhode Island Red cockerels.
Does anyone have any suggestions of what i type of hen i could cross to get a good table bird or a good layer?
Any suggestions would be appreciated

For a good layer Light Sussex are a good goer!
