Mosaic Chickens!

[B2Bacres]

Not sure of egg laying ability, I know I just obtained a dozen hatching eggs and will be hatching them as soon as they arrive. Will update when they hatch.

Well, wouldn't you know it. As soon as my eggs shipped I found 13 Mosaics for sale about an hour from the farm. Of course I bought them
Got them late last night so no pics yet but as soon as the rain lets up I will get some. They are around 3 months old not and starting to show some nice color.

OK got them home and dried off!! Rain has been crazy here. They would not cooperated fully with photos this morning but I did get a few.

Well, I guess I’ve gotta chime in! This is Blue, my (nearly) 6 week old.

I’m holding onto hope that she’s a she, but I’m pretty sure that hope is just denial. Anyway, I’m gonna call Blue a she until I know otherwise.

She was hatched (and immediately rejected) by Enzo, my broody Dutch Game Bantam, so she was hand raised by my wife and I. Against all odds, she is thriving, and will definitely be a house chicken, like her mom. She’s scared of the dark, and Enzo still tries to attack her every chance she gets, but I’m confident both of those things will go away when she gets bigger.

My question... What size do these birds typically grow to? I can’t find info anywhere, probably because there’s not enough info to establish a range.

Anyone with a full-grown bird, please lemme know!

Comb is pretty big for 6 weeks unfortunately but I also am not familiar with raising this breed so you never know! My Easter eggers with red comb by that age were for sure boys, but nowadays that's not such a big deal. You can get a crow collar for noise!

I would agree. Comb is pretty large. Here is one of my roos with one of my hens at around 3 months.

Beautiful birds! I had a feeling, but ya know... Hope is a powerful thing when you really want to believe something. Hahaha

 

[B2Bacres]

Yeah, don't I know it! I believe I have 10 roos and 3 hens! Maybe 9 to 4 but still waiting to see.
