Hi all

I am interested in the way different breed of chickens are made, like colour sexing at day old with RIR Cockeral with a Light Sussex Hen.

What actually is the combination of a Black Rock?? Confused Confused

nearly every chicken in the world is a mixture of several breeds ..............some over years .some over decades.........some written down .some remembered ...some not..............so it is what a chicken looks like and breeds looking like rather than actual ancestors
