Did you have a broody last year? In the rules, there's no rule stating that the picture must be from this year.

Thanks!! I don’t know what breed they are but I got some eggs off Craigslist and they had “several breeds, buff orpington, silkies. A Brahma and a Polish/silkie rooster.”.

Any idea what mixes they are?

And I don’t have a rooster so I bought eggs from the farm/farm store that my sister works at and gave the eggs to cinnamon and nutmeg

I also have 2 other hens that look like nutmeg but have the coloring of cinnamon and also used to have 1 that looked like cinnamon with the coloring of nutmeg

I’m my mind it’s safe to say the PolishXSilkie roo might be the dad to the four of them!! Hard to say what they really are without detail shots of their individual characteristics and then seeing what they share! They could even have different moms but all be by the same roo!

Do you know what breeds the chicks are or were they backyard mix eggs? They are so colourful!

Thanks! I’m not sure what breed they are… they came from a high tunnel that had 500+ chickens of different breeds. I do know that they had some…..
Ameraucana, austra white, leghorn, black australorp, Rhode Island Red, cinnamon queen, Wyandotte, Brahma, marans, cuckoo maran, welsummer, etc.

I would love to know what breeds you think they might be
