Barnyard mix. Post pics in a couple months or more and we can guess again. We love the guessing game. We may also know more about their gender. You guys are gonna have a beautiful flock and a super great time with these dittles. Congrats! wee

1 week old.

Breeding Welsummers and Barnevelders.

Having an Icelandic in the coop is like having a 2 year old in the house - they are into everything and don't follow the rules.

I have zero chicken willpower.

aaaaaaaaw so cute! love

I agree that these are mixes. I'd say a dash of Welsummer, a dose of EE, a splash of Australorp, a pinch of RIR ,and viola! cuties!

To be honest, from everything I've heard of the Amish and their chicken raising (used to visit Amish country every Xmas, what a treat!), they arn't too hung up on breeds.

You'll have sturdy dual-purpose birds, if my guess is right. smile
