Mosaic chickens are a relatively new breed that originated in the United States. Developed in the early 21st century, Mosaic chickens were created by crossing various breeds which have been kept a mystery. The goal was to produce a hardy bird that not only lays a good quantity of eggs but also showcases an attractive, variegated plumage.
Mosaic chickens are medium-sized birds known for their unique feather patterns that can display a delightful mix of colors, including black, red, and white.
