The hens were always sweet, but not the male. Oh my goodness, I would be using some ear plugs or something with those things. That would get really annoying hearing that every morning. I'm happy with the rooster crowing in the morning.
My uncle had them when I was growing up, he lived only a couple of minutes away, and he had those mean son of a gun genies. I hated those things with a passion, especially when he had a hen sitting on eggs in a cage right by the door to the chicken pen. And of coarse there was daddy right on top...
Ok, creole can start out different colors as chicks right? Because I have a creole rooster, and he looked nothing like that one.Here is my creole when he was about 11 weeks or so.
I always loved being around chickens when I was a child. I thought it was always fun gathering the eggs and watching them as they would play football with a snake or worm. I never in my wildest dreams ever thought that I would have chickens. But that is what made my daughter happy, and raising...
I have two different kinds of wyandottes in the flock. Which they are still young, but the adult hens seem to take to them just fine. I had never had a EE before either, but I do have three Ameraucanas. Only one is the way you talk, but my other two are totally different from that. I wasn't able...
Him and my Blue Lace Red Wyandotte are the only two that are easy to catch. Well besides one more BLRW rooster that I have, but he won't be around very much longer. I have what I guess is an Easter Egger, he is a brat to try and catch. That is how my hens are, I can't walk onto the back porch...
Yes, its Powder Puff. I tried to get a picture of his eye, but in the picture it showed it to be all orange. For some reason the camera won't pick up the lines, it just brings out the color. He is sweet heart, and the easiest to catch. Everytime I go walking into the pen, here he comes strutting...
Mine has bright yellow eyes with orange lines running around. I may need to try and get a picture of his eyes, its hard to describe what they look like.
I love the colors of the Mille-Fleur bantam cochin, he very pretty. Not very often you see a rooster attending chicks. All three of your roosters are pretty!
With it not really hitting much here in Arkansas, I think it may be ok to get some outside birds. But I would keep them separate for several days to make sure they don't have anything.
