Mixed babies!

[Kelli_Siren]

So these babies are the first that my broody silkie/easter egger hen hatched and I’m wondering how crossbreeding works. The father is a Russian orloff. The hen breeds in my flock currently are: buff laced polish, silkie/ Easter egger that lays blue eggs, copper maran, Delaware, sapphire gems and Easter eggers. These are the babies. I’m thinking one is the silkie mix, one copper maran and the one that looks mostly orloff could be part Easter egger ? What do you all think

Can't wait to see what they grow up to look like. Hopefully you will keep us updated.

I’ll update here as they grow! Been trying to get them interested in food and water currently

They turned out so pretty! Two roos (Delaware/ Orloff and copper maran / Orloff) and a hen (Easter egger Orloff) I’ll get some better pics of the copper maran but the Roos ended up HUGE. The Delaware mix is so beautiful with brown and black speckles. They all have the cutest lil beaks. I’ll try to get some better pics. It rained like crazy here haha

Dang it! Y'all keep showing me these kinds of pics and I am going to end up with more chickens. Do you hear me? So stop with the cuteness.

It’s so hard to stop! It was really fun letting my broody hen hatch some and seeing how they turned out
