I was given this little one because "the light colored ones get gotten by predators" at his place. He thought it was a Barred Rock x Red sex link. I don't know for sure what he is. He's got some of the most gorgeous blue/green sheen in his tail feathers. I want to add EEs to my flock so he's not destined to stay (thus, his name).
Nugget at only a month or so old



Nugget now...4 1/2 months old and I still haven't heard him crow.


And he's there in the background

In the foreground is my EE roo (handsom Hansel),
and a banty OEGB pullet that keeps escaping the banty pen to be with the big girls. She's started laying and doesn't like her nest box, so she escapes, lays her egg with the big girls' eggs, then goes back to her pen. If I didn't keep finding her eggs in the nest box, I'd think she finally decided to keep to her own kind. Once the other bantys start laying (next spring since days are getting shorter and colder), I think she will finally stay in her pen.

I don't know about the eggs as I never pay much attention to how pretty they are they all taste the same lol but the way I look at it some would say a mutt is the same as a cross because its not pure, like in dogs but like I tell everyone you can't start a new breed without crossing breeds so that being said I look at crosses differently because I call crosses a mix of two or more pure breeds with a certain goal or look in mind for example if I did a cross of two breeds I'd have to sell the offspring I didn't want as mutt unless someone else was interested in that same cross I'd call the ones I kept crosses until several generations down the road if I got them to breed true then you give it a name and hope it catches on lol but this is just my thaughts
