So, mystery solved - Houdini's Dad was most likely a lone Golden Laced Wyandotte rooster with a rose-comb. When she crossed with Rowdy the mix of Wyandotte traits turned up our little 'Rose'. Cool!

I may have the answer - this is the hens sold to me as Wheaten and Copper Marans. I lost the dark one but had a few of her eggs in the mix. She seems to have a different comb. If that's right I hope this girl lays the same gorgeous chocolate brown eggs!

Thanks guys - good thing I'm more interested in variety than pedigree because I've obviously got a pen full of crossbreeds. They're lovely little feathered people though.

Thanks - I could see that chick was different. I hope she's a hen then. I'll have to go check out my girls now.

I don't even understand what a rose comb is - I'll have to look it up. The majority of our chooks are raised at the school from a commercial supplier. The Roosters are rescues and the Marans are from a reputable breeder so your guess is as good as mine. But I'm loving the barred chicks - they're...

Could he be carrying the barred gene? Because we are going to keep that little barred rooster because he's just gorgeous and has a lovely nature after being constantly handled by the kids.

This is Rowdy.

No barred birds that we know of and I'm sure you're right about Rowdy although his previous owner bought him as a purebred he doesn't look quite like anything I've seen. Well - they'll definitely be a varied bunch then!

Go Gorgeous bird!

This is my Wyandotte rooster Rowdy. I also have a black Australorp boy. My girls are Isa Browns, White Leghorns, Australorps, Copper & Wheaten Marans. Any ideas on which crosses we have here?
