Pyncheon chickens. Anyone else have any?

[Pyncheon guy]

The chick looks like it will be Mille Fleur color....have a beard....and a single comb.....and a few feathers on it's feet..... It may also have a small crest/tassel.....hard to tell right now....it may also have vulture hocks from the cock bird. Early yet....but it looks like a pullet to me.....just a hunch.... it will be a very attractive cross. I would like to see what it looks like when it's grown.....good luck on your project!

Yep Ill keep posting pictures of it as it gets bigger on the raising chicks forum

[/img] Here's the second one that hatched three days ago. I know that one's a little rooster. his name is little Chico

[/img] The newest member not sure if its a roo or a little pullet ??? It hatched last night early in the morning

I have heard very little about these birds, but find it interesting, with all the cross breeding going on, a little of this, a little of that, that the old "recessive gene" pops into my head.
I have 4 identical hens, that look very close to Pyncheons. Same coloring, same tuft/comb, very weird that they would all show up at the same time in my mixed flock.
OF COURSE, I am at work, and cannot post pics. But in the back of my mind, I have always thought, those are them!

The first chick is really growing.....the second one is very cute..... You'll find the Pyncheons and Pyncheon crosses to have wonderful personalities..... Keep us posted.

Thanks

yeah little Chico the second one is feisty but love able. His coloring is a little different than Spongy's. I need to take his picture again. he's getting bigger. I've got another one in the incubator trying to pip and it's blonde. It's from the same parents just blonde

. Oh I was gonna say on Spongy her feathers on her feet are starting to get really cool looking. I'll post pictures in the morning , they look mille fleur . All chicks have feathered feet. Not sure about this new one that's still pipping.


I'll take pictures of it after it's fluffed up.

Can't wait to see pictures. Thanks at first I wasn't going to breed their mom with Little Man my Mille Fleur D'uccle rooster. But I thought well why not let's see what I get. Right now their mom Ms Elizabeth Taylor is molting. I might put him back with her not sure.

It's been raining and they are swimming in mud. Promise as soon as they are above the water line, will get pics!

 

[stoopid]

OK, still muddy, but they were all in the same place at the same time, cameraphone in hand...

They don't really look like pyncheons to me. They are spangled, the crests are all dark, ear lobes large and white.
