After disappearing for over a month and a half, one of my Black/Lav. split orps appeared with 3 little chicks who are now 7 weeks old. All 3 have a distinctive orpington body shape. Two are girls, one is all black (looks just like a mini mom), the other looks like a barred rock chick, thin, black and white stripes that are even around her whole body. The boy is black with the black/white striping on his chest only. All three have very dark slate coloured legs like mom, no leg feathering. The possible Dads are: BCM, WL, Del. or Lav. Ameraucana. I eventually found the Moms nest with 15 additional rotten eggs in it (talk about an overachiever!!!). All the eggs were hers as her eggs are distinctive over my other hens. Sorry, no pics. Can maybe get some tomorrow if that would help. Who's the Daddy?? I am leaning towards the Del?? Love the look of the offspring so the curiosity is killing me!!!
