Duck Mom & now I'm a Chicken Mom

[ProudRedneck]

Curious to know what breed my Roo & his two hens might be besides barnyard mixes. Do they favor one breed over others?

Little Jerry

Red

Freckles

Lt Jerry and his two girls were incubated in the same clutch by the hen below and the chicks in the picture is of Lt Jerry and his girls brood so three of the chicks pictured are mine now.

There was only 2 possible Dad's...but all Roos & Hens below coexisted as one flock so it's possible the Roos swapped girls but I have them pictured with the hens they seemed to claim as theirs.

#1 Roo is amazing, and all chickens are beautiful! I searched a few to see and he comes up as a street chicken. I think that's what happens with barnyard chickens is they create these amazingly beautiful chickens, with no breed name other than "barnyard" mix.

Welcome to the wacky world of chicken keeping!

Still prefer my ducks, though.

The mother of your chickens is a speckled Sussex. The father of your two hens is definitely rooster #1. You can tell that immediately because your hen have pea combs like him. I believe rooster #1 is also the father of your rooster, going by color. Rooster #1, the father, appears to be a mixed breed. He might have one parent the has long tail genes, like a Yokohama or Phoenix, but impossible to know his exact mix. He's very handsome though, as are all of his chicks. I think yours favor both parents, really, and would call them speckled Sussex mixes.
