I do have a barnyard mix of chickens that all run together, but we are trying to get some heritage breeds. They will walk together with the rest of the flock till I decide I want to start actively breeding in a certain direction. Then I will give them a month to basicly lay out the other...
I just heard back from the breeder. Apparently the australorp can be a easter egger. The eggs just marked wrong. And she also said that the buff is probably from the buffs she has because somewhere along the line some of her buffs got featered legs. Maybe a easter egger got into the buff enclosure.
Well her ad said potch koekoek, easter eggers, buff orpington, light sussex, black austrolorp and golden laced wyandottes. No marans or any feathered leg breed other than maybe easter eggers as far as I know. But apparently all her breeds are separated.

Quickly did a search and it looks like the splash chick is either a grey and yellow colour or black and yellow/white like the black Australorp chicks. My chick is a solid yellow with only a few black marks
No.They are mostly yellow with only small black spots. The chick is sleeping in the brooder at the moment so it's hard to get a picture but I found a foto that is similar to the markings they have. The only difference is the mark on tom of the head is darker and larger and on its back there is...
Acording to her all the breeds are separate. But I have also thought that maybe she mislabled the eggs. I just wanted a second opinion before I tell her.
