I was just going to hit "like", but then remembered I'm not on Facebook
I wanted to share my mutts, I really like them, and I think they are pretty.
But first, I will get my political issues out of the way (please skip to next paragraph for political free content). Excess mutt chickens can be used as food for meat eating animals (human or otherwise), mutt dogs frequently just end up homeless, starving, and/or diseased (i.e. in pain). As a rescue volunteer, I cannot feel comfortable with humans who knowingly breed without thought to what is going to happen to the second or third generation of the mutts they create. On the other hand, genetic defects (dysplasia, et al) are recessive, and are not likely to effect the lives of cross bred dogs. I have a chaussie (chow/aussie mix) and a showing Australian shepherd - the chaussie is a smarter dog (in spite of being abused for his first 4 months of life. BOO! to those humans)
Anywho....
This is Cinderella and Friendly (who is, ironically, not friendly at all), the girl is a Black Copper Marans crossed with ameraucana, and the boy is a Blue Copper Marans crossed with an "easter egger" If they had better personalities, I would probably try to get a second generation out of them to see if the babies turned out as pretty
So maybe a maranscauna and a measter egger?
Well, that photo kind of stinks and the FBCM is in the way, but you get the idea - i wasn't wearing my chicken boots, and didn't want to get in the run.
