Favorite backyard mixed chickens?

[yomama]

These are my mixed breeds:

The first is Rusty. Got him from the neighbors. All I know is that he is part Silkie. He actually has about 3 feathers on each leg/foot. The neighbors have alot of chickens, many mixes themselves, so who knows. He is a very good boy. Protects the ladies well, even me! He has defended me against a broody hen that tried to attack me, as well as a rooster that tried to attack me!

This is Spicy
Got her as an adult. We think she is a RIR bantam /game hen. The owner had RIR and game hens running around, among others. She is very small compared to all my others. I would say maybe a couple of pounds(?)

This is Violet.
Got her from the same person. He wasn't sure what she was, but we think Black Sexlink bantam/Game hen (she was the hen that was attacking me when she was broody, when Rusty stepped in and chased her off)

Thanks! Even though he is skittish around people, he really is a good boy. I honestly don't ever even see him eat, he is alway giving everything to the girls! To think that I never even wanted a rooster in the first place. I really lucked out with him.

That's exactly what we all want in a rooster! Good boy! I am so bummed I have to give my JG roo away...he's the best, but I have too many roos, and I am focusing my attention on purebreeds. I will be separating out my egg layers...so no new backyard mixes for a while.

He will be going to a new home, with lots of girls to run with!

Some of my favorite mixes are ~

BJ ~ her mother was a frizzle bantam mottled cochin and I don't know who her Daddy is. She is 26 weeks old and has not yet laid an egg.

Billy is my EE/BO mix and is also 26 weeks old.

And Mocha a EE/Spangled Russian Orloff mix who lays green eggs. She and her 2 sisters are 2.5 years old.

This is Hiro in the front and Kira in the back they are also EE/Spangled Russian Orloffs roos. They were both re-homed last summer

Gorgeous! Love that sweet little frizzle! The last pic of Hiro...he's just striking! If we could only breed for that coloring in true Ameraucanas!

Thanks ~ BJ is probably the sweetest, friendliest chicken I have ever had I am looking forward to hatching some of her babies in the spring with my bantam mottled cochin roo.

Hiro and Kira were very handsome and friendly roos. I think they got their deep mahogany coloring from their daddy the Spangled Russian Orloff. I wish I had kept Hiro ~ but we were having some problems with excessive crowing and them over breeding the hens and decided to re-home them.

Here's my Dominique/RIR mix. She is the sweetest bird ever and her feathers are so soft!!!
