Mixed race chicks

[Tlco]

Ok i lost all my chickens ladt year to Hurricane Harvey, had to move and am now starting all over. Have a nice coop and pen for the chicks (5 about 3 or 4 wks old). A neighbor gave them too me. My question is: Has anybody ever delt with mix race chicken? Her yard was full of different roosters and hens. Lots of mixed cross breeds. Is there any health risk or other dangers i might encounter with these type of chicks?

Only the ones that are half amexcian and half Asian are the ones that'll give you problems. Darn those mixed race chickens.
Now the half black and half white chickens are nice but a Lil fiesty. Be warned.

Umm, no. They are just mutt chickens. They won’t have any issues that a purebred wouldn’t have. Good luck with your chicks!

Mixed "Breed" chickens are nice. I believe race only refers to us humans.

For your second question about breed types, you might want to ask that in the breed section just because there are more experts that will see your question there as well


Congrats on your new flock! Looks like you might have a rooster or 2 in them

My "hood" chicken (the white one in my avatar) is a mix of god knows what and she is the toughest hardiest one of the lot. Pops out an egg a day. I'm thinking, much like dogs, pure breed chickens have specific jobs, while mixed chickens are just hanging out laying eggs.
