Forgot to mention that they are mutts- I don't have any info on possible parents. Thinking Eagle looks a little cuckoo maran-y. All have a straight comb except for Raven, who might be pea comb-y, not sure....I'm new at this! :) Raven's comb is mostly black, but the tinge at the top is...

Here are 5 week updates on my mutts! Pics are in roughly 1 week increments from top L to bottom R. Any guesses on breeds? Athena Raven Eagle Ducky ...and some family fun shots...for fun!

Thanks, 10xmama! With them having an unknown lineage I'm eager to get people's thoughts on these types of things. :) I'm new to all of this and interested to learn anything a I can, esp about my babies in particular. I appreciate everyone's help!
