Chicken_man 1,651 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Just googled them, seem to be quite popular, and decent layers. Don't see why not, but I'm sure some of the layers folk will know best. Over to you, layers people :-) Atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stevo79 569 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Hi mate,Hybrids do not breed true. If you cross a hybrid chicken with another breed or cross, you will not get the same bird with the same performance as the original hybrid, however 'like breeds like' and if you are careful with your choice of cross, you can still get some reasonably well performing birds. Blacktails are a RIR x Sussex and bovans are a RIR x Plymouth Rock. So id say they'll through more to the RIR hybrid Atb? Edited June 2, 2015 by stevo79 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
