Thanks, we’re planning to keep it as well if it’s a female! She will either lay a pale blue or pale green egg based on her genetics.

I have always liked and have some AC chickens but am not crazy about the tan/cream egg color. Just because I have many tan eggs already. But I recently hatched out 2 AC mixes that look very AC that have a blue egg gene. I am excited, and if one ends up a rooster, even better!

I had never heard of mosaic chickens, looked them up and they are gorgeous birds! Can’t wait to see what yours looks like when it all feathers out.

He may be darker and not all mosaic-y but I am okay with that. I put him in a brooder with a stuffy, and a mirror. I give my chicks beds lil' beds and quilts in the first week they love'm.

Gorgeous! I think they are some kind of Silkie cross.

I read up I am sure silky is in there, also AC, I always wanted my own silky-AC mix.
Below is a pic of an EE/silky kinda looks mosaic-y. The chicks are just for myself. I love mixes, and I got a good price on my eggs.

chick to the front is Silky/EE, right behind her is a silky mix- hiding, to the left the short black is a AC/EE mix looks AC, above her is a B&W AC mix, and a Cochin mix rooster.

I like seeing those chick pics! I want mine to hatch already! barely got my first pip an hour ago. She pipped barely at the edge of the air-cell do y'all think she'll be ok?
