That is one gorgeous rooster.

Just found this thread. So fun!! This rooster is stunning. After all, aren't all of us Americans a bunch of "mutts" too?

I know it's been a while, but I thought I'd update on my chicks hatched this summer. All 4 that have black feet are hens and all 4 with yellow are cockerels. The little hens are excellent layers of tiny little eggs. Their eggs are much smaller than their mom's.

Very cute.  I have heard an un-tested theory about skin color when one parent is black skinned and the other is light.. can you please tell us when you know who the boys and who the girls are - and what color their skin is?  Oh- and which parent was the Silkie and which parent was the Buff Brahma?
Those are so cute.  I have a Light Brahma Bantam that I am going to cross with my Partridge Silkie rooster (next year) to see what I get.  I over did it with chicks this year.

Since removing the top is what you have to do when hand turning that doesn't usually hurt anything, and I think your exterior humidity helped keep the humidity stable (I visited AR last year - you have lovely quartz crystals in your state).  

Did you stop turning them when they were hatching?  Or did you just keep removing the ones that came out and putting more moisture in and shut the lid?

Pure beginners luck I guess - or having hybrid  vigor really helps.  Although you did what most people said not to - it worked for you.  Great job!

My young mutt rooster I hatched out of blue or olive egg last July 4. Not sure of breeds because eggs were given to me

Here are a couple pics I've taken over the past week or so




This one gave me quite a hard time sexing, but he finally "declared" himself.
