They are all sooo pretty! Love every ones mutts

I have one I am not sure what she is, she was my mom's bantam and she thought she is crossed with game bird. She announces everything that happens in the yard and when she needs to lay an egg and she has laid her egg, her eggs are medium cream colour, a friend thought she might have guinea but who knows we just love her for who she is

Lil Louise, bantam mix

and our newest one, a rooster Daddy Long Legs

we know he has RIR but we don't know the others, if you spread his wings out he has a rainbow of colours in there, browns/whites/blacks/greys/tans. He is so funny to watch in the yard

All of these chickens are so original and amazing!

Really bad photo of Happy Feet. No freaking idea what he is. But that was taken tonight. XD

Taken 4/29/11 (He's actually pretty. Just awkwardly shaped. Fat body short legs in the more recent photo)

Happy Feet on 4/18/11

4/6/11 at about 2 days old? I had just gotten him that day. Huge difference. Hahaha!

And no...I have no idea what he is mixed with!

I personally think that there is nothing wrong with "mutts" if that is what works for you. (Works for me too!) As long as they are happy and healthy and well taken care of, that's what matters most!!

I agree. I think mutt chickens are rather like mutt dogs; you often get the best of each of the parent breed's personalities and coloring.
Some people prefer purebred chickens, just as some people prefer purebred dogs. It's all depends on what you are using your chickens for.
