Ooh, nice breeds! We have some olive eggers! Do you know what you might get out of the mix?
And what are pendesencas?

Either will be olive Eggers but no idea what the combs or coloring will look like.

Thank you! I found some nice comparison pictures of her versus my d’uccle I thought I’d share.

Some naked necks are heterozygous for the NN gene, so, if that’s the case, half their chicks would not be naked necked.

She's beautiful! If it becomes an official breed, I'm your first buyer!

Here is our barnyard mix rooster... Pipit! View attachment 2421720

He is so handsome! You should enter him in the "handsome fella" contest!

Thank you! I might enter more pics of them later!

Thanks! I would if there is one, the good news is, we have one of his babies!

He must have slipped a gene of his in an egg, so we will very likely have a clone!

Sounds like a great deal to me!

We've got a bunch of mixes too. Here are 4 of them...

They're about 8 weeks old. The black cockerel is EE/bantam roo (not positive which one, but could be red bantam cochin); the silver pullet with the "do" is white crested blue Polish/white silkie; the mostly white pullet is buff orpington/white silkie; and the partridge-ish colored pullet is partridge cochin/silkie.

We got six chicks from a 'Barnyard Mix' back in May this year. They're about 6-7wks old now, I've had them for six weeks. I have a feeling they are mixed with either Barred Rocks or Wyandottes (or something similar) some have barring, but one has beautiful lacing. Any guesses? I thought maybe the yellow two were possibly a Buff Orpington/Barred Rock crosses? The fourth and fifth chicks have fully feathered feet...?

These are some of Eustace's offspring. Sorry the pictures are not great, I'm not a good photographer.

This chick is 1/2 Brahma, 1/4 Barred Rock, and 1/4 Easter Egger. It is barred with feathered feet, a beard, and a pea comb.

These are such unique mutts! I wonder how they look now.

Thanks! I don’t think Popcorn would approve of other chickens running around that looked just like her.
