Here are mine. They are mixes and just about 3 months old. The first pic are all the girls and the second one is the cockerel and one of the girls.

They are vey pretty birds you got there

I agree, very pretty. Though the barred ones look more like Barred Rocks or Dominique to me but very pretty and maybe Aussie mixed with one of those

I have some aussie/maran mix and they lay beautiful dark eggs and they lay everyday. i also like orpingtons. They lay everyday and are friendly birds.
