Chicken "mutt" club!!!

Three generations, Broody mom (Reba) and her broody daughter (Baby girl) co - brooding chicks. This is the first one out.

Super cute!!!

Brace yourselves, the mutt pics are coming!

I got an incubator for my birthday in January, so my flock went from 45 to 165 chickens in a few months. Almost all of the new additions are mutts, and now that they're getting older, it's starting to look really interesting in my flock!


Easter Egger/Production Red mix

Welsummer/Bantam Cochin mix

I'm not entirely sure what's going on with this handsome boy, but I suspect Easter Egger mix of some kind.


This handsome fella doesn't have a name yet. I just call him "Cheek Puffs". He's a barred rock / EE mix. Super sweet guy, he's always underfoot when we're outside.


Black sexlink/bantam cochin mix.


Polish crested mix. Dad was most likely a barred rock, but it's so hard to tell.


An Easter egger/Buff Orp mix. This little male is very quiet and loves greens. When he's stuck indoors, he's always the first to dig into greens we drop in the coop.


Armin is a lavender d'uccle/buff cochin mix, bantam on both sides.


This goofy-looking fella is an Easter Egger/White Rock mix.


Barred rock/bantam cochin mix


Polish crested/white rock mix


Some kind of Easter Egger mix. At a glance, it looks like a barred rock mix, but I suspect it's some other combination.


Hedwig, a white rock/easter egger mix. She just started laying this week, and she lays olive green eggs!




One of my multitude of barred rock mixes...


Polish Crested mix. I love the comb.


Easter egger mix.


Easter Egger/Australorp mix. I call him Gru. He's my pal.


I can't be sure what's going on with this chick. It might be an Easter Egger/bantam cochin mix, or it might be an Easter egger/bantam d'uccle mix, OR it MIGHT be an old English game bantam/Easter egger/bantam cochin mix... All I really know is that the mother was a bantam.

@PrairieChicken They are all fascinating mixes. It is funny to see the Barred Rock Mixes with flouffs coming out in unexpected places like the cheeks, feet and top of head. Armin is awfully cute.

They're going through about 120 lbs of feed a week right now. In a few months when the new girls start laying, the expense of feeding them won't be so bad, but it can be a challenge sometimes to get enough food for them. Fortunately, they free range, which helps reduce the feed costs some.

@PrairieChickens You need a barred / NN mix to add to your barred assortment.
