Hi I have one small 16 bird flock made up of 5 BO's, 3 BR, 5 mutts, 1 Golden Laced Cochin, and 1 leghorn. The mutts started with a LB crossed with a RI. Then those mutts crossed with More LBs, then that generation crossed with a EE, and then the first two of this generation were crossed back with a RI. Ones a rooster, ones a hen. They are laying, and so are there parents. They were all just crossed with a BR rooster, and two BR hens were crossed with the mutt rooster we have. They are very good layers if they have red, and black plumage they lay brown eggs. If they are of the black variety of our mutts they lay blue eggs.

My other flock is large, and consist of many unknown breeds as we got the layers assortment from a hatchery. Yet here are the breeds I know there are in the flock. 3 LB's, 7 BS's, 2 Self blue bantams, 1 EE, 1 faverolle, 1 silkie, 1 leghorn, 1 polish, and 1 barred rock. The rest of the breeds are unknown, and the number of chickens in the flock are all unknown. Yet there is around 50 chickens. The chickens are all still chicks, but will start laying in June. There are three roosters in the flock. On of the self blue bantams, the silkie, and the faverolle. Any other roosters will most likely be culled.

One of our BR hens is sitting on two BO hen x BR rooster eggs, and one BR rooster x with a golden laced Cochin/mutt egg. (I really don't know). Our BR doesn't let the mutt rooster breed, and he is the second lowest in the pecking order so we are pretty sure none of the eggs are sired by him. Im also sure he isn't old enough to breed yet.

Anyways would anyone be interested in some mutt eggs, BO hens x BR rooster eggs, or BR eggs because I could supply. I can ship eggs. Yet if you want me to hatch them you would have to pick them up.
