Hi all,
I received 3 chicks from a woman who had a mixed flock, but I was just getting into chickens at the time and only recognized a few of the breeds she had. She told me two of the chicks were blue silkies, and the third one was a mystery chick. The chickens seem to be almost fully grown, but I can't tell what they are. I am pretty sure they are all hybrids. The "silkies" definitely don't look like silkies to me.
I figured the rooster is part bar rock due to his coloration when he was a chick and also his current feather colors. However, he has some iridescent green tail-feathers, feathered legs, and slight reddish feathers in places. Anyone have a guess for the other half?
The silkies were a bit muddy from scratching around after the rain, as well as the rooster going after them
All guesses would be appreciated!
