Family Farm and Home offers an exclusive breed called "Diamond Duchess". Does anyone have experience with this breed? I know nothing about their history, personality/temperament, egg production, etc. (other than what FF&H says on their website).
 
I don’t have any myself, but it seems like they could be a barred rock/cream legbar mix.
That's what I was thinking as well. I'd like to know more about the breed such as temperament, general health, etc. but I can't really find anything on line, and I don't know which hatchery is producing them.

I’m pretty sure they are. Mine are developing crests!
How old are they? Mine are about 4 weeks. After seeing your pictures, I looked a bit more closely at mine and they might be showing the beginnings of a crest.

Hopefully they always have crests, I bought one and a barred rock at the same time. They are currently about 10 days old and look identical so I need something to help tell them apart.

The picture showing on Family Farm and Home's interactive breed guide doesn't look like it has a crest--but I don't know if that means anything or not. Apparently this is the first season anyone has seen this breed, so we're all kind of "flying blind".

I feel like they just used a picture of a Barred Rock because they didn’t have any pictures of the adults since this is a new breed
