Yeah, all the time. Especially when you have a roo with a completely naked neck and feathered feet with 5 toes to breed with 2
big, fat 5 toed hens. I'm just holding back because I will have to feed them. HA! I might be spending more on feed than food for
me!

Thanks for the geography update. I feel much better now. I thought you might live in Jackson County, Mississippi. HA!
I once had a "vacation" at Ft. Benning. I never heard anybody say "Squee" when I was there. Just "drop and do me 50."
Best of luck with your chix. Please post photos...

Nice looking chix!
If I was a betting man, which I am not, I will say buff/brown. They certainly won't
be black! From what hatchery did they come? One question. Where is Jackson County?
Your profile doesn't tell us what state. There is a Jackson County in Texas, but we don't
squeal in...

Yeah, just tell us where you live. There are only 8,000 or so BYC members that would gladly assist you.

There are 6 more, but these 2 were the only ones that didn't just want to

Nice little beards for females, huh!
I bought the 8 of them because they have yellow feet and...

funkyfeathers gave a good guess. NN mixes sold as or implied as being 'the breed' are very very common. I would say it's the flea market roo's the one to 'blame' for all those traits.
The two black pullets also have beards- tell tale signs can be small wattles as beard normally...
