If you are asking me, I call them the "Barn Yard Chix" because I have no idea exactly what they are...
The solid black, smooth feathered banty hen sat on the eggs. BUT I have 3 banty hens... And I think they are all crosses as well - all have a little silkie blood, but other than that, who...
our babies from May are growing up!
Here was hatch day (or day after?) -
and here are 2 of the 3 girls now -
Here are the 4 cockerels -
I have the 3 pullets in a coop now (will be interesting to see what type/color eggs they lay) and the 4 boys will be going to freezer camp soon...
Come join us sometime at that NC Working Horse and Mule Association. Plenty of folk who can help you out with learning to drive, teaching him to drive (if you don't already know) and getting equipment. My critters are truly one quarter that size! But they pull logs, and disk fields so far...

Well, while I wasn't doing much the other day with having a severe allergic reaction to what the dr said is Fire Ant bites, I brought my chicks in in 3 batches to mark them, make notes and take pics! Took most of the day - sheese! Did the first 4 Blue ameraucanas, then the 2nd batch of Blue's...
So, I had a "nest" of eggs that I had 3 hens getting broody over - in a manure tub I hadn't dumped lately (when things got moved around, it got buried behind equipment - after the barn flooded)... Since I'd gotten the two roos - I left most of the eggs alone (especially the bantam ones since it...

Please post more pics as your chickies mature! I have some that just hatched under a broody bantam that are at least 1/2...
