Update on the mint chocolate chip layer's
Our take
Get ready for an egg-citing update on the mint chocolate chip layer trio! These feathered friends are strutting their stuff at 23 weeks old, and I can’t help but admire their stunning black metallic sheen. The first picture showcases the proud rooster of this cross, while the second and third images highlight his lovely ladies. With their fabulous feathered feet, these birds are shaping up to be the perfect dual-purpose companions—great for both eggs and entertainment! Now, I’m at a crossroads: should I let this charming trio breed together to establish a solid lineage, or shake things up by introducing some fun genetics and letting nature’s creativity take the lead? Cluck-tastic decisions ahead!

| Right now I have a Trio of them that are about 23 week's old, first picture is the rooster of this cross and the second and third pictures are his two ladies. They all have this nice black metallic color that really shines. They all have feathered feet, and appear to be perfect Dual purpose birds. At the moment I'm still thinking on what the next step should be, letting them breed together and start a real line or bringing in some more fun genetics and let nature run a bit wild with them [link] [comments] |
