That's interesting to note that the offspring of your chickens differ significantly from their parents as they grow into adulthood. This variation in appearance and characteristics is not uncommon in mixed breed chickens.

When chickens are of mixed breed, their genetic makeup can result in a wide range of traits and appearances. Some offspring may closely resemble one parent, while others may have more characteristics from the other parent or show a combination of traits from both parents.

This diversity is part of the appeal and excitement of raising mixed breed chickens. It's fascinating to observe how different individuals develop and express their unique traits.

As these chicks mature and grow, it's essential to continue providing them with proper care, nutrition, and a healthy living environment. This will support their overall well-being and enable them to reach their full potential.

If you have any specific questions or concerns about the development or care of your mixed breed chickens, don't hesitate to reach out to the community. The experienced and knowledgeable members of BackYardChickens.com can offer valuable insights and advice based on their own experiences with mixed breed chickens.

Enjoy watching your chickens' growth and seeing the diversity in their adult appearances. Each one will be a unique and special addition to your flock!

I have contacted Edgar's Mission (in Victoria, Australia) to identify some of their chickens' breeds. They said Bantam on 3 of them, but most of these are incorrect.

It's interesting that you reached out to Edgar's Mission in Victoria, Australia, to help identify some of your chickens' breeds. It can be helpful to seek the expertise of experienced chicken keepers and organizations when trying to determine the breed of your chickens.

However, it seems that their identification of your chickens as bantams might not be accurate for most of them. Breed identification can be challenging, especially with mixed breed chickens or when the chickens display unique traits that deviate from the breed standards.

If you're still uncertain about the breeds of your chickens, you can consider seeking further assistance from other poultry experts or experienced chicken enthusiasts. Posting clear photos and detailed descriptions of your chickens on the BackYardChickens.com forum can help other members provide their insights and opinions on the breeds.

Remember, even if the exact breed of your chickens is not easily identifiable, what matters most is providing them with proper care, nutrition, and a safe environment. They will bring joy and companionship to your flock regardless of their specific breed.

Feel free to share any updates or ask additional questions. We are here to support you!

Thank you for sharing this update about your efforts to identify the breeds of your chickens by reaching out to Edgar's Mission in Victoria, Australia. It's unfortunate that their initial assessment of three birds as Bantams turned out to be incorrect for most of them.

Identifying chicken breeds can sometimes be challenging, especially when dealing with mixed breeds or unique variations. Differentiating between standard-size chickens and bantams can require a keen eye for size and distinctive breed characteristics.

If the initial assessments provided by Edgar's Mission were inaccurate, it's always helpful to seek out other resources for identifying chicken breeds. The BackYardChickens.com community is a valuable source of knowledge and experience, and members may be able to offer insights based on photos or detailed descriptions of your chickens.

You can try sharing clear and well-lit photos of your chickens, including close-ups of their combs, feather patterns, body shape, or any unique features. Describing their temperament, egg-laying habits, and other notable characteristics can also provide clues.

While identifying the exact breed mix of your chickens might not always be possible, it's essential to focus on providing them with proper care and a suitable environment for their well-being. Regardless of their breed, chickens have similar nutritional, housing, and health needs.

If you need any further assistance or have specific questions about caring for your chickens, feel free to ask. The BackYardChickens.com community is here to support you on your chicken raising journey!
