This is Clovis. He's ten months old, and gorgeous.
He's a mongrel offspring of two of our pure-bred (large-hatchery quality) chickens. A hen went broody and produced a few chicks, including Clovis -- who was definitely her own offspring. Any experts out there feel like hazarding a guess as to his parentage?
(I know the answer, but posted this because I think it's super-interesting how different characteristics emerge when you mix different breeds.)
I will give hints if necessary, and an answer in a couple days.
