Show off your MUTTS ! - Page 3

My mutt, Pete (Yes she's a girl)  She's a Black Tailed White Japanese crossed with a Black Cochin... 

Silkie/Phoenix bantam X:

This is Boy George, an EE rooster (hatchery chick). I'm trying to guess at his background, he has no muff/beard and kind of odd shaped head. I love his coloring but not sure if I want to keep him for breeding my EE hens.

Here is my newest mutt...We were surprised to see this one come out of a green egg!  Hatched on 12/27/11... She is a Blue Silkie/EE mix... Can't wait to see how she matures!

Here are my 3 Muskateers that our Rhode Island Red hatched out:  The two on the left are EE/Buff Mixes and the other is a Buff/Red mix...

Wow, Beautiful Birds!!!  So this is my mutt...I think.  The feed store said he was Mexican?  I'm starting to think mutts are the way to go!  His name is Singha.

This is Anna.

She's not a SIlkie X Ameracauna but does have Silkie feathers.

Anyone have french black copper maran crossed with an EE? And what color would the eggs be? I have 4 eggs in the incubator.

I hatched four chicks over the summer that had EE mothers and FBCM father.  The mothers were your basic brownish EE.   See them here:

Dad here (he was only about 3-4 months old here):

The chicks haven't started laying yet (I expect it in February). If you remind me, when they do start laying, I'll let you know what color. I was guessing they'd be olive eggs though.

Anyway, these pictures are from when the chicks were about 4 months old.

To me, it looked like other than the beard/muff, the BCM genes definitely won out in this case. All four had feathered legs, and looked exactly like BCM except a couple had beards.

My EE's look a lot like those. Thanks for the pics, they look awesome!
