    Guessing chick mixes!

    My broody hatched three little adopted babies last weekend. Here is what I know. Two of them hatched from cream legbar eggs. Dad is either a black australorp, white wyandotte, or RIR. The third came out of a light brown egg that was either from a white wyandotte or a RIR. Baby daddy options...

    Black Copper Maran, yes?

    Definitely BCM, for the record. She lays a nice brown egg perhaps every other day.

    Obviously NOT a cream legbar, but what then?

    Update! It’s a blue egg! She’s a chicken mystery. We love her.

    A friend got her from a hatchery order with a lot of others. I didn’t have a brooder set up, so he raised her for me until she was safe to come out from under the light. I took four babies from him. He has never had cream legbars before so he wasn’t sure what was going on with her. She’s...

    Sorry this picture is awful but it’s late at night and I can get more tomorrow. You can see her legs, which are yellow and without feathers.

    Obviously NOT a cream legbar, but what then?

    This is Rosie, age 7/8 weeks. We were told she was a cream legbar but the lack of a crest pretty much puts that idea to rest. Any ideas what breed she is, or possible mixes? She is incredibly calm and sweet tempered, loves to ride around in the open hood of my child’s coat. Good flyer. Smaller...
