What breed is this little one?

Some jungle fowl mix! Her siblings are more chipmunk-like. Here's a pic of the mom with all siblings -- any guesses for breeds?

The mom is feral with a floppy comb and sleeps in the gulch nearby. We befriended her for over a year and eventually got her to eat out of our hands. Her eggs are white while our other feral black chickens lay pink or light pink eggs. We were harvesting her eggs but couldn't find her last nest while we were out of town, so we were surprised by five little ones! We think the dad is a big all-white rooster (rare in our neighborhood) because he peeked his head through the fence while they were foraging. He's been too skittish to visit our yard.

I just realized my best pictures ended up being all of the same chick!

6 days old. I can finally stop taking pictures like a madwoman! If you look closely, you can see a raindrop on one of their butts!

Did you arrange them in alternating colors? Amazing effort!
