Mixed breeds

[Kids coop]

I am going to do a little prediction here - walnut comb. Rose comb from the Wyandotte mixed with pea comb from the Ameraucana.

Makes selecting Pea comb quite a bit more difficult I would presume at least at hatch.

not as hard as I thought it would be the pea comb actually stands out more then the other two being that I discovered rose and cushion combs seem to develop a little slower then the pea comb.

I was wondering if anyone else has a flock as mix up or more than mine ( with Columbian Plymouth rocks, white leghorns, mix breed bantams, and Cochin bantams

That's all you have?


I have

Hens:
Black Australorp
Dixie Rainbows
Black Sex ink
Red Sex Link
Rhode Island reds
Easter Eggers
Delaware
White Rock
Barred Rock
Crested Cream Leg bars


Roosters:
Cornish X
Black Australorp
Araucanas
Partridge Chanticler
Crested Cream Leg bar


However, to be honest I keep the Crested Cream legbars locked in segregation from the rest.

Also I may have forgotten a coupe varieties.

It does but I love my colored egg baskets!

I am trying to get more covered pens to control breeding better.

I have some chicks that you can tell are from a black silkie cockerel and a light sussex hen. You would think they would look the same but one has black skin and one has pink skin. Both are large fowl. The pink skin one is getting the silkie feathering and the black skin one appears to be smooth feathers. I will post some pics when I can

do you mix-breed just for fun or does it have a purpose ?

Here are three of eleven that hatched on Aoril 4th.
Dad: Black Jersey Giant
Moms:

I had two hens that looks like this.
Or:

I know that this one belongs to her:

Can't see it in the picture but this turned out to be a Naked Neck.

Looks like the black jersey Giants traits are dominant
