Blue Astralorp -Blastralorp???

[redcowgirl2009]

A while back we hatched some eggs. Most ended up being roosters, which at our house means they are meat chickens. We got chickens with the intention to hatch chicks to raise for butcher. Anyhow we did get one hen in a batch and she is amazing looking! She is out of a Black Astralorp and our old roo a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. The blue came through nicely. She is now laying eggs. Her name is Afina. Have you ever mixed breeds and gotten a spectacular chicken?

She's SO pretty!

I've not got my chicks yet, and I can't have any roos here in town, so I envy you so much!

She is very lovely. Hopefully she'll be the egg-making-machine her momma was! The only mixed chickens I have are my Easter Eggers and I love how each one is beautiful and unique.

Thank you guys she is also so sweet...maybe cause she is spoiled.

Sometimes it is nice not to have a roo. We don't have one right now and I am enjoying the piece and quiet. We will be buying two roos as soon as our chicks are out with the big girls. I am thinking a Black Copper Maran and maybe a Legbar?
