I'm hoping you guys could help me with a color question. I have a mixed flock that has recently been separated, so eggs still aren't pure. Breed wise, I have a pair of red pyle mixed bantams, some sort of blue copper hen, a multi-shade brown hen (looks a bit like a welsummer in coloring), a buff hen with black smutt, a reddish brown rooster, a black silkie pair, and two buff/ light brown hens. I listed all of them because I have a mystery chick whose color I've never seen before. Upon hatch it looked similar to a laced wyandotte, but its feathers are coming in black/dark with a light coloring that resembles barring. Could anyone tell me what color it will grow out to be?

First few days:

You can see some of the odd balls that hatched out along with it. I separated breeds about a month ago, and I'm still getting mixed chicks! I have what seems to be a blue and a white silkie, but I only have the black pair.

Aw, they are all so cute! The one you are asking about looks a lot like an Easter Egger mix I hatched out.

How did it turn out looking? I find it amazing the different combinations you can get from only a few birds.

Hi I'm in Scott Louisiana. 21 mature chickens, 22 baby chicks and about 20 fertile eggs. I've been raising chickens since 6/24/2013.

Cajun, you sound like you've got it going on. Good for you.

My 16 babies are 1 mo old today. Very newbie even though I've been on the forum a while. Love it.

Hello newbies! welcome welcome!!
ASK AWAY! WE LOVE QUESTIONS, PROBLEMS, SUCCESSES, AND JUST BABY BRAGGING
Lot of smart helpful people here and most get on almost every day. If we cant answer, we kinda like figuring it out! I like the grouping of minds here, everyone knows SOMETHING, and together we know a bunch?! LOL Happy to help anytime!

ANGEL, i love the new babies, so snuggly looking!!!

Anyone ever have any dealings with any speckled sussex?

My step daughters fiancé brought her a gift! So cute, but she has to school herself QUICK!

Too many chickens to have a successful garden, so we used wooden blocks and wildlife netting?! Hope it works/survives the season.

The TUTU's for my lady friends are done, think I did okay, now I have orders! Yea!!!
