As a suburban chicken owner, I only have so much room for my hens and their coop. So when we started raising chickens 3 of the 4 turned out to be roosters. So I sold all the chickens so my quirky hen could be with her roosters. So we bought 5 replacement chicks. All are different breeds, 2 are quite younger than the others by 4ish weeks . They all get along great. Of course they always have to check out the new comer. Best of luck with your chickies. Keeping chickens is awesome. I recommend it to everyone who can make a respectable space for them outside.
What else can I help you with?
If you cross white leghorn rooster with rhode island red hen will the chicks be sex links or mixed?
NO, neither breed is sexlinked. What you need to do is breed a Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire rooster with a Barred Rock(Black Stars) or Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire rooster and a Silver Laced Wyandotte, Rhode Island White or Delaware hen(all Red Stars) and you will get sexlinked chicks. The chicks that hatch out solid black are pullets(hens) and the chicks that hatch out black but with a large yellow dot on top of their heads are cockerels(males).This answer is wrong. The rooster has to be the Rhode Island Red and the hen the White Leghorn. The pullets will have reddish fluff and the males will have yellow fluff leading to white feathers.
