Ok, some of you know that I have just recently finished building The Missy Prissy Chick Bator. I have not incubated any eggs since I was like 13 yrs old with a Bator I begged for that I got for xmas from the local Coop. No one really showed me how to use it. I just read the directions, gathered some eggs and went on my way. No fancy turner..only a strofoam incubator with a wafer thermostat. I was as dilgent as a 13 yr old an be with no guidance, turning the eggs and maintaining water in the troughs ect. My hatch rate was about 3 for every 8 or 10, Which wasn't bad considering. Well I have bought some cheep mutt eggs from a local guy to do my first test run with. All I know about these eggs are that the Rooster is RIR and that he has some Black Astrolorp hens from what i was told. What I know from looking at the eggs is, that he also had at least one EE hen and something that laid smallish white eggs, (looks to be a bit larger than bantam eggs). I figured it would be SO fun to see what peoples mutts look like from crosses..


1) Include Pic, Age, and breeds involved.
 
We have 3 mutts for sure. Breeder had a Buff Brahma roo and some Ameraucanas from MM, so EEs. So EE/Buff Brahma X. I just call them EEs.

They were 10wks in these.


The good dirt hole.

Sasha is an unknown cross, I was told part EE. She lays medium sized white eggs. She is the hen on the right, black with some brown and the big single comb.

Oliver has a great hair-do! I love Silkie mixes! We had a ton of them hatch this year! Maybe I'll get to post some pictures...

I've got Light Brahma (LB) x RIR, x BR, x WL, x Black Australorp (BA) and really like a couple of them (going to try for more!)

This is Tuxedo, LBxBA...12 weeks...

One of the 3 LBxRIRs...also 12 weeks...

They look just like a LB, and get the most amazing bronze highlights in their hackle feathers.

LBxBR, xRIR, xWL...about 8 weeks.

You'd think the white Leghorn cross would look like the LB, but this one is a sooty dalmation.

She's sweet, though.
 
Last year we hatched 2 eggs under our broody Jersey Black Giant, Lou. One egg was hers and the other was from Rachel, our Partridge Plymouth Rock. Dad is Sam our Golden Campine roo. Dolley is all black except for a few spots of gold edging on her back feathers.
