I've been waiting for something like this! It's hard to capture in a photo, but my BO, Love, has iridescent feathers on her neck.

#3
Breed: Barnyard Mix (Delaware daddy, could be a sex link mom or maybe Lavender Orpington? But leaning toward the sex link)
Name: Mumble
Mumble was hatched by my insistently broody faverolles hen. 1st babies hatched by us and her He/she was the last one to hatch, it's siblings hatched the day before and 2 days before it, so mom was more than ready to get the babies out and eating by the time he/she came along. Babes wasn't even fully dried off yet, and this little thing was chasing around after it's much more agile siblings, using it's wings to help it balance. All I could see was Happy Feet when I saw him He/she has beautiful blues and purples on those new feathersView attachment 2711809View attachment 2711810

Those blues are GORGEOUS!

She has that deep beetle iridescence!

She is my little (well...not so little) beauty
I've read that this hybrid is crossed with silkies, and from her soft feathers, I am convinced!

Gorgeous!
