really dumb mating question

babe · « **on:** January 07, 2008, 13:45 »

but i really have no idea.

my fella (elvis) is a poland, just wondering if he will only mate with popcorn, also a poland. or will he have a play with everyone?

and if he's not fussy will the eggs be fertile. the other girls are a frizzle bantam, a hamburg and warren, plus the two baby legbars.

if they are fertile, what would the resulting chickens look like?

thanks

Not to sure about chickens but, in general, you get crosses from any given species in the way you describe, e.g. the Brangus cattle being a cross between Aberdeen Angus and Brahman. Specialist stuff.

I don't know what they'd look like Babe but I bet they'd be cute if they inherited their Daddy's striking good looks

All chickens are basically different varietys of the same species. THE CHICKEN. The varietys will breed with any other variety.

Judging by your avatar, milliebecks, you should have roofed the chicken's pen

Well if my boys are anything to go by, if it moves Boff it :shock: sorry for the tasteful expression :oops:

I would love to see the results if I hatched my little silkie /orpington cross eggs could be fun.

Frizzle polish cross sounds lovely, kind of like a feather duster maybe

just hoping he learns to boff lots before he learns to talk :shock:
