Chicken "mutt" club!!!

[ChickNmamma]

Ok, I have a bunch of Mutts (EEs) but I will post some home-made mutts made while testing out my broodies:

First batch was hatched under a Silver Phoenix hen. Took me a long time to figure out what was going on, but I finally figured out they are all out of my one Light Brahma Bantam Cochin Hen, with different fathers (Sumatra and EE).

Two of the three as babies.

Those three recently. I think one has black legs and two have green, but I might be backwards..

Next batch was under a blue silkie hen, hatched around Christmas last year.

Parents were Sumatra Mom ? dad and blue silkie mom Sumatra? dad.


This was another of the Light Brahma Cochin Bantam's chicks - ? dad.


One of the Light Brahma Cochin Bantam crosses.. they all look almost the same.


Two of four of Blue's chicks - Silkiex?, MF full grown rooster and Sumatrax?


Closeup of Silkiex

Well.. there's my home-made mutts.

Do you have a Splash? Splash carries two Blue genes and can give you a blue with anything black.

Do you have a picture?

Hmmm... do you have any birds that look black but could be actually dark blue genetically? Check fluff color for any lighter "blue". That does look blue - but then again so do the wires s/he is standing on.... and the wall behind.. and.. and...

I guess you will have to play the guessing game like I did - look at everything you have and try and figure out who could be the parents. Somebody is carrying Bl...

Cool.... found this thread through my e-mail lol.

This is the one I call Piglet... I've had to kick her little but out of the scratch bucket many times and she will tackle you if she thinks you have treats!
I love that nib of a comb and it's hard to see here but she has muffs too. The interesting thing is I know daddy is an Ameraucana (not EE) but I only had 1 white hen and the only B&W one I had at the time was a barred rock.

Wow! Pretty bird!
