It was a Cornish X. I processed it on Wednesday. It grew a wry neck and I had to keep it separate from the others because they would always pick on it. It would eat. stand for few second and then lay. I don't know how much longer it would have lived because of its weight. At least it had a...
My son got home from school and called me to let me know that there was an unusual chicken in our back yard. I got home and my neighbor said this little bird came into his yard and started following him around. He thought it might be one of ours and put it in our chicken yard. I am assuming it...
Hooter's first egg
One of the Golden Girls checking out the egg.
We got our first egg yesterday from our Easter Egger, Hooter. It was in the nesting box right next to one of the fake ceramic eggs. She is the first to lay and waiting on the Bantam Cochin who is the same age. (19 weeks)...

thanks. I drove past our feed store on my way home from work today and picked up 3 Buff Orpingtons that were about 2 weeks old. since all my bantams are outside and a bit over 6 weeks I decided to put the triplets (pullets) in the coop/ run area while the 8 bantams were out and about in the...
why do you say the second one is a cockerel? its comb is the same size shape and color as the cochin pullet? It just doesn't look like the black cochin cockerel and thought it was a pullet
