    Wow! They do look so different from each other. So beautiful though. I don't care if they are considered mutts. They are the prettiest of any kind of mutt I have ever seen. ( : This makes me very excited to see what mine turn out like. Thanks!

    Need to know what breed this is...

    This bird is 3 weeks old today and I think it's a male. What do you think he is? Ideal Poultry put 7 of these in with the females I ordered, "for warmth during delivery". Thanks for the help!
