Whole family:
Papa Whiskey: BO x EE crossed with wyandotte
Mama Storm: splash laced red wyandotte x OE (CCL x CM)

Babies: out of 13 eggs, 2 NOT Storm's, 3 vanished, 5 didn't hatch. The 5: all Storm's. Dunno if babies are all Storm x Whiskey or 2 from the brown eggs, or Storm x with australorp or GP Hamburg. Chocolate chick is ringer for Whiskey.

2 days off nest (wilds of the hillside, 4 foot tall grass). Finally made it into the coop.

The middle one also looks like a gold penciled hamburg mix

I'd been thinking a different bo X ee mix crossed with partridge Plymouth rock (he had a pea comb). Chia, the middle one doesn't have the build of the hamburg. Out of 7 babies last year, only 1 did NOT have the build.

The hamburg: Cheetah

The blue head behind the weird barred bird is a daughter, white head possible mother to said daughter.

One of the white sapphires again

Blue daughter (and possible mother to the little roo, Zulu)

Havoc found her a perfect escape perch



When Chia starts laying, I may have a better idea on her parentage.
