Weather was finally cooperative enough for a current picture. These gals are by far my favorite breed so far.

She's a pretty girl. For being oddball coloring, I sure like them.

139 days. I put supplemental light in their coop the week after Christmas. Their cobs reddened up 4-5 days later. May be coincidence, but eggs tell me the light is worth it. Right now lights on at 315am.

Yep. These were $0.25 chick's from TSC.

Today's haul from 8 pullets. Yesterday was four, day before was one. The dark brown one is as dark as my dominant coppers eggs were. So far these four oddball rocks and the 4 normal colored ones are my favorite chicken breed.

All I’m saying is I don’t believe I was complaining about poor coloration from quarter apiece straight run chicks. Right now, I like the coloring well enough to attempt to duplicate it. Almost ‘buy a BR cockerel and a few BO pullets’ ready. They are unique.

:th

That’s the closest KNOWN coloring I’ve seen!!! She’s pretty!!

I’m not displeased with their coloring. I paid $0.25 each out of the straight run bin. 8/8 were pullets (I was wanting one or two cockerels.... it’s probably why I had straight pullets). For two bucks I’m extremely happy with my odd ones.

So your superior hatchery had something genetic ‘pop up’ and you’re criticizing a feed store purchase??? :rolleyes:

Thanks!

17 weeks old now. I have no clue what they’re crossed with, but the four of these get more comments than what I ever imagined a chicken would.

I have four odd colored rocks total. 12 weeks old..... no cockerels but starting to turn red pretty quickly

Thanks!!! Shes my spoiled monster.

Update on first chick in post one. 46-49 days old. Leaning hard toward cockerel

She’s definitely the most off colored one. The other two aren’t nearly as odd.

They say broody raised aren’t as tame....

I have three of eight this way. I haven’t seen any for sure cockerel behavior other than this one running around fighting everyone today, then reinforcing it for a few hours after with a peck on the head to send them scurrying.

Week later this chick still getting lighter and lighter in the chest.

Going to confine and feed higher protein feed for freezer fodder.
