Getting faster, more positive results from this type of selective breeding takes time and patience.
You will need to start out with a lot of stock as you will likely be culling left and right. Allow the hens to mature fully before beginning to base your plan for culling.
When they are of age, first things first, tag all your hens with bands. with unique numbers or color combinations so that you can tell individuals apart. I would use some text/graph/table software to keep up with the hens rate of lay, temperament, health, and if you're truly concerned about producing quality birds her temperament as well. Optionally, also her appearance and egg color/size. You will need to be able to verify what birds are producing exactly what eggs so that you know who to cull and who to keep. They make laying boxes which also trap the birds inside, or you could build these boxes instead of buying them. Mark each hens egg production down daily. After a few months you will be able to see which birds should be kept for breeding and which should be culled from the flock.
Continue to do this for several generations and you've achevied your goal.
Basically chose the ones you like most. Look for good traits. Ex: good feathers, type of comb you want, length of legs, size of egg (except hybrid parents don't tend pass this trait all the time), size. You be the judge unless you want to show the birds. Then you need to go by standards.
Make sure your hen with the large eggs is fertilized and collect the eggs for incubation. Keep both hens and cockerels, breed only from the first years hatch of the biggest eggs with the hens who lay the biggest eggs. It may take several years.
chickens are selectively breed for ther eggs to be bigger and yummyer and also dogs are for going to shows hope i helped :)
Chickens can be fed seeds to make them breed.
Any breed can get along with Rhode Island Reds. But you can only intruduce this other breed and more chickens when they are little. If you don't do that, there will be severe fighting with the chickens.
make 'em do it...
farmers selectivly breed cattle to get the characteristics they desire for the job they are going to put the offspring to do
Yes! I have chickens of my own, and I love mine. It really depends on the breed.
