anybody know if these are a cross or pure bred?
I have 2 hens and a cock left and they look as if they are just about to start laying. If they do and i hatch them will i get more table birds, or are they hybrids that will not breed true?
cheers.

id not bother if they are anything like ours to fat and heavy to do any good in mating,, grannieannie has all the info on them

Hi there, 757's are hybrids, if you PM me your email pushrod, I'll send you the specs Simon sent me!

So yes, like Munty said they are fat little so and so's and mating them is a lucky dip I'd think!!!

I was wondering if you could put your hens to something like a sussex or even faverolles cock? would be an interesting meat bird? Thats if you couldn't use a 757 cockerel (isn't that a jumbo???)
