Any one else like me that likes to hatch out mixed breeds? Obviously I don't hatch for meat or eggs. I have chickens mainly for the fun of it.
Currently have some Buff Orp roo over leghorn hen and BR over EE incubating. Should be interesting to see what I get. I think what I hate the most is the most attractive ones are always roos and they end up in the crock pot.
What I find interesting is, for example, the Orp over leghorn will not produce a single chicken a like.

I'll be hatching mixed breeds of turkeys and duck as well as chickens this year...
I have a BR hen some black sex links, and EE lots of buff orpingtons and RIRs and 3 light brahma hens, one catalana roo and a dark brahma roo
