Thank you for the help :) That Frizzy rooster is the sweetest thing you've ever seen and super good natured so I think he's a keeper :) Our other rooster is a mottled cochin and he crows like the dickens at six weeks,lol. I am really grateful for the help!

We have been raising chickens for just a year and this is our second batch of chicks (we expanded our coop). We went straight run and these little chicks are now about six weeks old. We have one we know for certain is a rooster (he crows every morning) but these four are still undetermined. Any...

Thank you guys, I'll pick some up as soon as they open today.

I received a small batch of chicks from a reputable hatchery and all of them are doing beautifully except one little guy. They are about 72 hrs old and one of the chicks , while moving some, sleeps most of the time and even when it's moving around, keeps 1 or both eyes closed. Is there something...

He's really handsome! I love the saddle feathers :)

Wow! He's very handsome! I wonder if my boy will get a big ruff like that!

Is there a place where you can see a picture of what a "top show" Wynadotte looks like? I have a rooster that I think is just beautiful, but I've never shown. He's still very young, only 5 months, but he's really coming in to his own and comes from good stock. Thanks!

Thanks for the complements on our Rooster, Sue. We were lucky enough to get him from Myron Lash, who breeds them to show. He's so beautiful, I hope to be able to show him one day myself!

This is our Rooster, Sue (we originally thought he was a girl,lol) He's a partridge Wyanedotte bantam. We were really blessed to get such a friendly rooster, he's very social. He's about 5 months old and has just started crowing.

Congratulations to all of you, your birds were just stunning! yes, please feel free to use any photos you like. If you want, the next time you have a show in the area I would be happy to volunteer to take pictures. I'm not a pro by any stretch but I can get some good shots sometimes :) I also...

I wanted to share a few photos from the show today and thank you again, we had a blast!

Hoppy, thank you so much for taking the time to talk with us today, we had a wonderful time at the show! Some of the chickens there were just amazing! I never knew chickens came in so many colors and varieties! The "Old English" were my favorites, my husband loved those Roosters with the White...

And this is our girl B.D.....she's a really funny girl, loves people and thinks she belongs in the house,lol. She's always trying to sneak up the steps and into the kitchen for a treat! B.D. is a mottled cochin, five months old. She's a bit of a late bloomer, but she's feathering out nicely!

This is our rooster, Sue...we weren't sure if he was going to be a boy or a girl, so we went Johnny cash,lol. He's super friendly and loves to hang out in the yard with us when we are working outside. He's still very young, only 5 months old, but he's got the heart of a lion in that little body...

I have no idea what "scratch grain" is,lol. Do they like that? Is it a chicken treat? We feed ours layer mash and vegetable scraps....they love tomatoes!
