Mystery Chick Evolution

[mvktr2]

I originally posted pics of a dozen mystery chickens in the 'breed identification' forum. Thought it would be fun to post pics here for all to see how they are evolving from mixed mutts to mixed beauties.

More pics coming showing development of these somewhat colorful but mostly ordinary looking chicks... well at this young stage they're ordinary.

This is the Lavender chick, my children's favorite.


Here's a video taken today. They were hatched on about March 27 making them 5 or maybe 6 weeks old. They are so happy to be outside and out of the coop after several days of terrible weather in Mississippi.

Cute chicks! I love seeing how mutts turn out--they're often so beautiful and interesting, not to mention unique!

The light striped chick looks like an Easter Egger and the dark striped chick looks like a gold laced wyandotte
I was just over in Miss. last week, I got to visit my Grandma over in Isola. We drove through Yazoo from the airport, the tornado really messed things up over there.
