I think she's just beautiful. There is absolutely nothing wrong with mutts. They make excellent birds for the backyard or barnyard flock.
Let's not call them mutts anymore, 'k? Let's call them parentage challenged.

Aw, I think "mutt" is an affectionate term for a mixed breed anything. Who hasn't heard the term "lovable mutt"? Nothing wrong with mutts-I have a few myself. Three accidental mutts were some of my most beloved hens and I miss them terribly since all three have passed on. I'll never forget my Poufy Head Sisters, Kate, Tux and Olivia.

I coined a term for mutt awhile back, MBC for "mixed breed chicken". Love those MBCs!


Sometimes, it's not easy to determine the cross that made a bird, so all we can do is guess based on our experiences and the traits of the chicken in question. She may be Cuckoo Marans, but I just don't see it. Either way, can't wait to see her eggs!
