This is Olive a few weeks ago. I think she is half bantam with maybe a little cochin in her? She has just a few feathers on her feet. She is my friendliest chicken, too, she will let me pick her right up without complaining at all.

We have some young bantam cohins, a white girl named Hylia, a little red boy named Red and a red girl named holly, she used to follow me around the yard.

I’m definitely going to watch this thread!! I’ll have to take more pictures when I get home because I have several more interesting juveniles. I have a lot of mixed breed birds part of a project of mine.

This rooster is a black langshan/cuckoo turken cross. View attachment 2264210
Here’s his daughters. Their mom is a chocolate cuckoo Orpington. They’re awesome layers.

I crossed the Orpington cross hens with a buff laced Brahma rooster and got these.

Don’t know what she is..... but broody is her most redeeming quality. Got this gal two years ago now as a complete flock. 19 hens and a rooster. I was getting 5-6 eggs per day (they were EE mixes now that I know a little more than nothing). Wound up splitting the group down the middle and giving them to my wife’s uncle. Who, it appeared, got all the good luck. Egg production dropped to almost nothing. Long and short, she’s the only one that wasn’t culled. Her going reliably broody is more valuable to me than anything else. Looking back, I was given a flock of very much so older hens. Her spurs are 2”+ and the others had spurs also. Dull feathering, calloused crusty feet, etc. Not sure how old she is, but a damn fine broody she does make. Apology for the book!

are you sure it's a hen?

 

[MarkJr]

I will add.... the 5-6 weeks before she goes broody, she gives 2-3 eggs per week. Never had her offspring hatch. Far as I know, she doesn’t let roosters have at her. She’s sweet..... but ornery as anything when it comes to roosters.

Sometimes I truly wonder. She does lay though.
