Crowing
So recently I foundout my 3 "mixed breed" hens were actually Barred Rocks! I was so excited
When the lady sold them to me, I had no idea where they came from. She had 5 RIRs, purebreds, and the new chicks she got were a combination of Barred Rocks, a Silkie, etc.
Got me thinking...
When I asked her what breed they all were, she said "Barnyard mix". But doesn't that always mean "a mix of pure breeds" in hatcheries?
Now I'm more curious than anything. You think the 2 others could be pure? I doubt it, but I am super curious now
There's my rooster, Ashley, who I wonder about, and my black hen Beetle, who I also wonder about.
And of course Wobbles, my handicapped barred Rock.
Thoughts?
