I keep a nice flock of light Sussex which are great dual purpose birds and nice broodies aswell.

Fancy trying a different breed to run alongside them, a different colour to split the white up a bit.

Needs to be dual purpose and need to be capable of hatching and rearing aswell.

What’s everyone’s favourites?

Barnevelders.


Speckled Sussex.

[Richmond]

Cuckoo marans.

[Womble]

Barnevelders.

Yes, they seem like a good fit!


My other thought is Rhode Island Red, because crossed chicks would be firstly great layers and secondly sex-linked.

[Steph Hen]

Leghorn cock over Sussex hen. Great characteristics over Speckled Sussex, We got good layers, crests, even some green egg layers.
