UPDATE!!!!

Also, what if you added a bantam EE in the mix? Then they would be amazing and lay Blue/green/pink/colorful eggs!

Updated! (Even though it took a little while. :lol:

)

I do love the colors of bantam EEs, and that would add better beards in the offspring, too. But, I'm trying to do a mix with exactly 1/4 of each of those four breeds, so it might mess that up a little. Also, I don't particularly care about the color of their eggs, or how many they lay; I just want nice looking friendly bantams.

Even so, I do plan to eventually add EEs to the mix, but my current priority are these four breeds. Thank you for the suggestion, though!

December 2nd-

Peanut isn't feeling so well.

I started this thread (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/darkening-comb-on-cockerel.1277747/) in October and concluded it was from heart or circulation problems due to his breast bone deformity.

(Popcorn is only in there for companionship.)
