Show me your cross breeds! Pictures!

I need to get pictures of mine but I have Golden Laced Wyandotte (hens) crossed with Barred Rock (rooster). They were hatched in Feb. so I am still not sure what they are. I know for sure at least one is a rooster. They have the same color pattern as the barred rock but with the blue tent and the feathers look more like the Wyandotte. They are just beautiful. What are you supposed to call crossed birds and how will you know what treats from which bird will come out? Just wait and see i am guessing.
 


Merlin my Copper Maran / Barred Rock Rooster.. He's awesome with the ladies.. Plus when I introduced new 9 week old chicks ro the flock he'd round up the hens and not let them bully the new ones.. He's not lost a flock member yet and the free range a lot

I have a 2 month old cross between a Cuckoo Maran and Black Australorp. I was hoping it was a girl but the comb is getting bigger than the others so I assume it is a boy. I have a Black Copper Maran cross with a Black Australorp too. Wasn't wanting two roosters but I'll see about keeping them to help out poor 'ole Sambo (Black Australorp/daddy) help tend to the 35 gals. He's needing some help. I have the Black Australorp (rooster) cross with Barred Rocks and Dominiques and can't tell them apart. The Dominiques didn't retain their natural comb, they have the single comb. There were 4 Dominique eggs and 2 Cuckoo Marans that hatched and they all look the same. Can't tell who is who.

Update: 7/24/15 The Black Copper Maran rooster was just 2 months old when he began mounting the gals and crowing! I let them out today with the big chickens and he was even chasing and trying to mount an adult Easter Egger. Sambo better get him in line quick or me stud baby rooster is going to take over the gals! :)

My Black Copper Maran/Black Australorp mix rooster is the fastest maturing rooster I've ever seen. At 7 weeks he was crowing. At 8 weeks he was trying to mount his "litter" mates. At 9 weeks he has been mating the "older women" (1.5 years old) and accomplishing the task quite nicely. The mature rooster, Sambo, is catching on to his competition and taking his gals and has nailed him a few times. Plus a few of the "cougar" hens have nailed him too. Wow.
