The Mystery Chicks - now with more pics!

[trystinn]

Here are the five pullets (we hope), I bought yesterday. These are likely a combination of several breeds, as she allowed her six breeds to freely breed among themselves. They are between three and five days from hatch and they all fit in my cupped hands together.







So we may have, either individuals or mixes of:
Orpington
Marans
Golden Campine
Barred Plymouth Rock
Rhode Island Reds
(geesh, cannot recall off-hand the 6th)

Squee!!!!

What a cute bunch of peeple!

It's nearly impossible to get a picture of them all looking in one direction, either toward the camera or in profile. :)

I did manage to get one of the golds with the long, deep comb and the fluffiest black one. I will keep trying ;)

I want vid. I want to hear peeping.

Very cute indeed!

Yes, ma'm, will do. :)

My question is one of practicality. Some breed are meant for laying, some for eating, photogenic qualities aside. It is not clear what purposes unknown/random hybrids are best for.

Most of the breeds she had are moderate to good to prolific layers, worst case scenario they become broilers.

Awww I love how tiny and fuzzy little chicks are!

Do they feel as silky as they look?

Dear friends of mine have brand new baby goats. I understand that hours are now being surrendered to the pleasure of watching them wobble and jump around.
