Anyone else love barnyard mixes?

[HollowOfWisps]

I just wanted to share some pictures from this springs hatch. There were two blues, two black with dark grey patches and one yellow chick with a barely noticeable light brown chipmunk stripe. I was not expecting them to turn out so pretty with these patterns. When the yellow chick started to feather out I thought possibly it might be purebred Salmon Faverolle, but the more it feathers in the more off the pattern and some of the colors are.

Rooster: Salmon Faverolle
Hens: Speckled Sussex, Jubilee Orpington, Blue Copper Maran, Barred Rock, Penciled Barred Rock, Blue laced Red Wyandotte, Silver Laced Wyandotte, Barnevelder, Salmon Faverolle, Buff Brahma, Dark Brahma and Welsummer.

I'm a big fan of the diversity of barnyard mixes! Yours are lovely!

As Forrest said, "you never know what you're gonna get."

Thank you! My husband wants to eventually hatch from our flock to raise for meat birds, but I told him he may have to go get some ugly chickens to raise as meat. If they all hatch out this cute I think I may have to go vegetarian
