Hello! I have a flock of 13 mixed breeds (some more mixed than others ). I will start with sharing the adults.
I have two Roos, Chomper (the barred roo) and Spike (the black roo) both came from incubating eggs from another mixed flock. From the same batch of eggs we got 3 hens. Little foot (lighter legs) , ducky (darker legs) , and Petrie (looks like a Rhode Island with the floppy comb) . Then there are the ones we know. Nugget (Rhode island red) , Pants (Brahma) , Flora (Wyandotte) , Poppy (cinnamon queen ?) , violet (sapphire gem) . And now we have 3 littles that are 4 months old. Petrie is the hen that sat on the eggs, but I have no idea who’s eggs they actually were (would love speculation). So that brings Aspen (the larger golden and black color) , Juniper (the grey and red color) , and Willow (the small black also know as “the favorite”) . While I am still a hold out and hopefully for 3 pullets I know good and well two out of these three look…. Questionable. So, would also love some speculating here too. Hahaha. I am also going to attach a photo of Chomper and Spike at the same age as the current littles.
Long story short - who do you think the parents are and pullet or cockerel?
