That variety of pullets will add plenty of interest. Maybe the Wheaten would add the most interest... I would use him first to get colorful chicks.
I had a Buff Orphangton go broody so I stuffed 15 eggs under her from FEB 21st-24th. And Now I'm collecting them to set in an incubator. I started collecting Feb 25th and will stop MAR 3rd. I found a local guy who hatches for .50 a chick. The great thing is he has a web cam and post it. So if you want to see hatching chicks he hatches every week-end. http://cmfarm.us/cam_2.html Right now looks like he has Black copper marans. Also his pug has puppies soo cute. My eggs are green/blue ones from Ameraucana's and EE's, Black copper Maran, giant silver lace cochin and the one BO. I think she has 2 of hers under her. I will be setting at least 36 on the 3rd of march. All have a splash maran roo over them. The end result will be blue feathers "I think" and chocolate and olive eggers. And some fluffy mutts from the cochin/maran mix and BO/maran mix LOL . This is Buffy My BO you can't tell she has 15 large/exlarge eggs under her. I moved her to the chicken tractor so the others will leave her alone. I been using the tractor as a half way house for chick. I can clamp a heat lamp in the top if needed. This is the first time it's been used by a broody hen.
Roca my big girl.

Mrs Clause She use to have a fluffy white beard. After the last molt it can back black and her feathers are bright.
Before the molt with the white beard weird humm!
What did the black and white one look like as a chick? I have a little white chick with 2 black strips down her back.... just wanting to know what she might look like grown.
