I googled pivtures of Cayugas and found some mixes too- Herman is definitely a Cayuga/Magpie mix! Thank you for confirming for me! I adore Herman, he is so sweet, his wings are incredible! I can't wait to see how he comes into his colors ;)
I have 10 polish cross hens and they are the biggest bunch of a**hole chickens ever! They attack all my other birds, killed a whole brood of chicks who were mere 2 weeks younger than them, (one incident involved stripping a baby chick's legs of all its skin and muscle... while it was ALIVE) and...
