Such beautiful chickens everyone!

Do have any guesses for mine? Do you think the last one might be a Silkie?

Hmm, that's tough. The last one's head does look like a silkie mix. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a silkie mix. The others, I think you are on the right track when you guessed Barred Rock

I especially like the black and white rooster. His coloring is beautiful!

I’m really curious to how he turns out. When he hatched he had yellow legs and now they are nearly white. When his wing feathers came in they almost looked Crele. He has a lot of blue and green in his black.

This is Eustace. His father was a White Rock who passed on the barred gene and his mother was an Easter Egger. He is has black and white barring with some brown feathers, a beard, and pea comb. I hatched some of his chicks about six weeks ago, and I will post pictures of them later.

These are some of Eustace's offspring. Sorry the pictures are not great, I'm not a good photographer.

This chick is 1/2 Brahma, 1/4 Barred Rock, and 1/4 Easter Egger. It is barred with feathered feet, a beard, and a pea comb.

These two are barred, bearded, and single combed. The one on the right is 1/4 Black Australorp, 1/4 White Leghorn, 1/4 Barred Rock, and 1/4 Easter Egger.

This chick is half Bielefelder and half Brahma. It has a pea comb and feathered feet.

I love them all!

Here are some pictures of my mixes! Their dad is a spangled Old English Game Bantam and their mom (possibly moms) is a buff silkie. Heather is the girl and Picket is the boy (they are named after characters in the Green Ember series). Sadly, I have to downsize my flock, but I am hoping to find a good home for this pair!
