Whats the most beautiful chicken you have ever seen ?

My trip to Cackle was yesterday. They let me pick up the chicks a day early as there may be an ice storm coming today…. Cackle has a huge building and the store part is small and in one corner. You can’t really see any of the good stuff thru the viewing windows. They have videos on their website showing a lot more. than you can see from their store. The store is full of chicken paraphernalia, but it’s pretty small. It was pretty quiet there. The room where you can buy surplus chicks was still empty. This is the first week of their hatching season. One employee came out with my box. I ordered 4 chicks, they gave me five! Last night, between getting up over and over to check the temp in my brooder, I lay awake wondering what have I done…..

They’re so cute! Which hatchery is next up on the list

Is this an EE ?

I don't believe so, my best guess is that he's a faverolle cross, but I can't tell what he's crossed with.

He is your favorite ?

I don't believe so, my best guess is that he's a faverolle cross, but I can't tell what he's crossed with.

If he was crossed with a Faverolles he should have 5 toes and feathered legs. He’s probably part Ameraucana or Easter Egger.

I'm not sure if I could pick a favorite... even though I only have 11 chickens.

Do Guinea chickens count? Saw this pic of a Guinea x Easter Egger and though it looked pretty cool~

If he was crossed with a Faverolles he should have 5 toes and feathered legs. He’s probably part Ameraucana or Easter Egger.

Even if he's not half faverolle, he definitely has some faverolle in his ancestry. The only thing that points to easter egger is his beard, so I really doubt that.

Down Easter Eggers have straight combs but it is unlikely. He most likely has Faverolles in his ancestry as you said.

Ever since I was a kid and saw a Porcelain D'Uccle at the County fair I've thought it was the prettiest color. Much prettier in real life. This is a pic from the internet.
