Ridgerunner - what breeds did you hatch?

Barnyard mix. The Daddy was a Speckled Sussex. I lost my rooster when someone dropped some dogs off out in the country for the good life a while back so I had to get a replacement. That's why he's a hatchery purebred.

The Mommies are mixes of Black Astralorp, Delaware, Speckled Sussex, and Easter Eggers. I only have one hatchery purebred hen, a BA. The rest are truly barnyard mixes. One of the EE's is Splash so I have some blue in this hatch.

My ultimate goal is a green egg laying speckled chicken that is a decent size for meat. I want black and red in the flock. I'm trying blue just to see if I'd like a speckled blue. I'm not sure the speckling will be crisp enough on blue to be that attractive but I intend to find out.
