Mixes and Misc. Breeds

Mixes and Misc. Breeds

These are the mixes I've hatched from my flock, or the random one-off breeds I decided to try out on a whim.

This page is getting a bit thin, but I should have a few more birds to add here in 2025. :D


Mixes

Amaretto

Name: Amaretto
Nickname(s): none
Sex: Female
Mix: White Silkie rooster x silkied incomplete Partridge / Red Cochin bantam hen
Egg: Small and tan with beautiful speckling
Origin: Hatched from my flock (Winter x Abra)
Hatch Date: June 5, 2020
Random Fact: Amaretto is one of those hens that really, really wants to go broody really badly, but isn't much interested in rearing the resulting chicks.



Ganymede

Name: Ganymede
Nickname(s): GanyMEAN
Sex: Female
Mix: White Silkie rooster x Easter-egger hen with some kind of blue-gold-partridge type pattern
Egg: Small and grayish
Origin: Hatched from my flock (Winter x Maggie)
Hatch Date: April 19, 2019
Random Fact: Ganymede was named after the largest moon of Jupiter because when she hatched she was HUGE for a chick! She also had a HUGE comb at hatch, making me sure she would be a cockerel. Oddly enough, not only is she a hen, but actually ended up much smaller than her brothers were, about the size of a Silkie hen!


Miscellaneous Breeds


Harriet

Harriet 7-29-22.jpg

Name: Harriet
Nickname(s): Hair
Sex: Female
Breed: Cream Legbar
Egg: Pale blue, round, and quite large for her size
Origin: Meyer Hatchery in Polk, Ohio
Hatch Date: July 6, 2021
Random Fact: Harriet has the craziest, flippiest, foldiest single comb I've ever seen! She's also the most dedicated layer in my flock, laying nearly every single day!



Rangi

Name: Rangi
Nickname(s): none
Sex: Female
Breed: Ancona
Egg: Large, white, and very round, reminiscent of a large ping pong ball
Origin: Meyer Hatchery in Polk, Ohio
Hatch Date: May 12, 2013
Random Fact: Rangi lost a large portion of her comb and half of her right wattle due to a cold snap occurring immediately after a flood in the coop during her very first winter. Despite this, her comb is still pretty huge most of the year--but in the wintertime it shrinks to about half the size!


Roha

Name: Roha
Nickname(s): none
Sex: Female
Breed: Exchequer Leghorn
Egg: Large and white; she has not laid an egg in several years now, however.
Origin: Meyer Hatchery in Polk, Ohio
Hatch Date: May 12, 2013
Random Fact: Roha hates to see anyone else get attention from me, especially Rangi. But she also does not want me to give her any attention and will flee if I try to pet her.
