Awww he's so fluffy. EE? Very cute in either case.

Mixed, momma is a EE while daddy is a barred rock

Well so far we have 8 chicks hatch! Two of them are EE that my 14 year old hand turned 3 times a day because they didn't fit in the turner. We have a whole bunch more that have pipped!

Awesome! All very cute for sure

We have a pip already. The Barred Rock cross surprised us, we might see a little one today.

Nice, in my limited experience hatching, I find mutt chicks the healthiest and often the first hatchers.

I agree, and the mutt chicken's can also end up with some pretty interesting color in the feather pattern's, too!

For sure. Mutts of most species are generally the most interesting and healthy lol When I had my successful duck hatch a couple years ago the one mixed breed duck I decided to hatch out just to see what a Rouen and black Swede mix would look like, was the first to hatch and the most boisterous of the bunch.
