our first broody just hatched 3 eggs (not her own).
One came out of a brown egg so the mom is one of our red sexlinks.
Another came from a blue banty egg, so obviously the mom is one of our little banty mutts (they are small, they have very scant leg feathers, they have cheek fluff like Aracaunas), although this baby has very feathery legs, so I think the dad must have been one of our banty cochins.
The third came, I believe, out of a regular sized blue egg, so that means that one of the EE/Ameracaunas was the mom. Also this baby seems to have cheek fluff.
We have three possible fathers, a Welsummer rooster and two tiny banty cochins, one barred and one partridge.
Anyway, it doesn't really matter, but I think it would be interesting to be able to figure out who fathered which baby. Right now two of the babies are a cinnamon/caramel color, and one is darker brown.
