I love this game. It's the best part of breeding critters of any kind. What will the new babies look like? Did my critters make something new?
So here is just such a game. The parents are our mottled mystery mix bantams. Hearafter known as our M&M&Ms. ;-)
We just hatched our first babies and what a variety! First, this little one was what I expected:
A little black and butter cream puff.
We also got a whole bunch of these little jewels with coal spots on their heads! Looks like my guess of mottled Japanese for the parents linage was spot on! *giggle*! ;-)
No, that's not a marker dot. That's the color they were born with!
We also got a little chocolate drop. This one is a rich dark brown on top and buttery underneath, named Toffee! ;)
Chocolate? :-/ Where did he come from?!
And then.... (Drumroll)....
We got a solid black chick! Black legs, black eyes, black beak,... Is he black on the inside? I gentle looked in his mouth. Nope. Rats. :-(
But still a cute little guy!
I wonder what this one will look like when he grows up? There must be Silkie in the mix!
