Thanks Kim!

ETA: I checked out the link. Regarding laying eggs fertilized by more than one roo. It is my understanding that a hen can store the sperm from one "suitor" and use it to fertilize eggs for up to two weeks. So it would seem entirely possible that she could store the sperm from more than one roo and it get all mixed up. But I'm just speculating here...

That's what I was thinking, but ??????? The one looks like my FBCM mixed chicks usually do. I always get feathered shanks. Jovi is a blue Olive Egger and he got the feathered shanks. I also have a black silver and white EE that was a cull from Lavenders out there. I almost forgot about him. And then the AMs. I have no idea though were the brown chicks came from. Would any of those colors incluing the AMs produce chocolate or dun from a splash?

I see what you're saying now! Yes, that kind of mixing doesn't seem possible just from stored sperm. I'm afraid that leaves me fresh out of ideas, as genetics is definitely not my forté!

Well I didn't get many but was going to sell for feed money. Now IDK. They are brown. I'd like to see what they grow up like and if they look enough like one of the breeds, try a chocolate project. I have more due the 17th I think. Thing is with this many colors I don't know if I'll get this color brown again. I need to buy feed, not have more to feed.

Those brown ones are definitely cute! A chocolate project sounds interesting, too.

Check this out, it's really great: Jazz for Cows.

well thats the problem. there was not supposed to be a demo! it was just supposed to be a quick sink change, badda bing badda boom. unfortunately, everything about this houses plumbing is all wrong so a quick sink change=not a quick sink change. at least the toilet switcharoo went smooth.
