Pretty birds! I am curious now on what my crosses would look like. This should be fun!

Bantams have no idea that they are small

My laying hens have a bantam barred cochin roo in their pen with them, and he takes watching over his girls very seriously. He even threatens the big young blue standard cochin boy (supposed to be a pullet) for breeding them. My silkie roos are the same way. Two comets are in the silkie run because they were bullies in all the other pens and the silkie boys keep them in line. I posted a pic of a couple of silkie cross babies that I have on this thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=112769&p=4 they are way too cute, I can't wait to see how they mature.
