I've been running a La Bresse cockerel with Jubilee IG so it'll be interesting to see how they eat. So far the chicks look exactly like the other IG chicks but have pure white plumage and flesh coloured legs. They appear to be about the same size at 6 weeks now.
Regarding Dorkings, I've come across someone doing the Red and Whites, Leominster way, I think, who's birds are meant to be how they used to be.

I think the La Bresse are Dominant White so I think chicks from a cross will always be white.

I look forward to hearing how quick they finish Robin and what size they make.

Castle Farm, what do you do with your surplus IG cockerels? If you're throwing them out, throw them my way, I love the flavour of them!!
