That's right!

Guess. That. Breed!

I bought eggs and was lied to in one way or another with 90% of them. It wouldn't surprise me if the two cream legbars are mixed which means I was had 100%. Anyway, any guesses? They hatched September 4th.

From the "barnvelder" eggs (brown)

Mabel the black pullet that just started laying tinted eggs. The color is hard to discern from my Ayam Cemani eggs.

The two browns without poofs.

These all seem like dual purpose as they are a bit chonky.

From the "cream and opal legbar" eggs ( lighter blue)

Adonis the rooster. He has a beard and muffs along with a different comb. He is already a heavy big boy.

The two head poof babies, one light and one dark that SHOULD be cream legbars.

Thanks guys!

They all look like mixes. The two with head poofs do look like Legbar mixes, so could be they'll lay blue or green eggs. The cockerel is an easter egger. The others look like easter eggers as well, there are no Barnevelders or Legbars anywhere :hmm

Like others have said, they are great looking birds, and you will likely get a variety of egg colors!
 
I have to agree. They may not be what you asked for or expected, but DANG! That's a good lookin' bunch of birds!
They are! They weren't in my plans but they aren't going anywhere. It's not their fault. The little black one, Mabel, is my shadow, asking to be held all the time. Adonis was a jerk once but learned his lesson! They're good birds.
 
EVERYONE loves him. He wasn't supposed to stay! I have two AC roosters as my plan was fibros. This whole hatch has thrown that for a loop!
Did the breeder give you any idea of what he may be a mix of? I know he's an Easter egger but curious if it's from a project she's doing and there's a specific mix that makes him
