Earthen Acres Homestead: First mixed laying flock

Tonight's spotlight goes to Cliff the Cockerel. Literally today I witnessed Cliff crow for the first time in his life. Just in the last week he's been seeing to the girls and really coming into his roosterness. I knew this day was coming! I was out there earlier today and he cockled his first doodle doo. It was adorable. He seemed equally startled and proud of himself. My boy is growing up lol. Time to hatch some eggs soon. Someone on here guessed he was an ameracuana. What do you guys think?

I'm sorry I do not have any idea. I'm not great at breeds. Sorry.

Just wait till he matures a bit more. He’s gonna be even more handsome than he is now. Great looking boy there!

He does look like an Ameracuana or Easter Egger. He is a beautiful rooster!

Thank you so much. I just ordered an incubator, soon he will be a daddy.

This is Wilma the Welsummer. She has a no nonsense attitude, and is down to throw down for first dibs on treatsies. I really love her neck coloring. Welsummers are reported to be some of the best foraging egg layer breeds. She lays rich brown terracotta egg about 4 times a week.
