were most of these blues or splashes?? Thanks

Last night I had to cull too of my old girls. So I believe the consensus is decapitation is most humane. We always have. But what we realize that after dark is even more humane! When putting a chicken on the chopping block, I have found panic until the deed is done... Not this way... We plucked...

I think that for me. If they were a good strong stock it might be worth it. But I really only have the Cochins I have because they are great parents. I will cut my loses and valuable lessons have been had. I have my chickens in the process of treating. Note to self auction are to get rid of...

Do guys think it is a awful if I just culled them? They are not purebred and probably older.

Thanks so much for the replies! I am not sure what I will do but I guess treating my flock and yard is the 1st step. Ugh. Thanks again! :th

The were in the coop today as well free ranging with mine! As soon as I read this, I separated them... Now what! OMG! What a bad purchase.. Too trusting .. I would never sell a person a problem like this:barnie :(

I had apparently bought two cochin hens.. They are mixed for sure... But that is ok... But. What do I do about their feet! My chickens are all very healthy! Can I trim the talons... I don't know what to do and feel terrible. I will post pictures

For the roost box is there any plans?

I bought a bunch of jersey's from a farmer. I free ranged, allowed them to eat when they wanted. Kept them on grower till they layed . At 6 months I mixed grower/layer so it was a combo. Lots of protein treats. Went back to the farmer since my 20 month olds were such beautiful creatures. Saw his...

We personally do the chop. I just thought to ask. Thanks!

The only reason I asked, is because it is supposedly a peaceful way to go. At least I have heard that in conversation from time to time. I wouldn't know personally. :idunno

What about submerging a chicken in water? Or a chick? If it is sick?

How big are the jersey chicks at their hatching compared to other breeds? I am incubating some right now, bu two bantam cochin eggs got tossed in the incubator and I am wondering if one or the other actually survive if I could brood them together? Thanks!

Are you still looking? Lol

I am breeding very high quality jersey giants and bantam cochin and soon to be silkies. I have pictures available too. My bantam Cochins are not show quality but hardy. I am also always interested in buying high quality jeresy's to add more lines. Blue or black... Black are my favourite...

I am hatching 25 black jeresy's right now... 1st time and probably won't end up wit many of them... But excited... 2 More weeks to go!

Ottawa area... No eggs at this point but I am specializing in black jersey giants and I am planing to raise a bunch to sell as ready layers in the spring. I do have cochin... But they are NOT show quality... They are here to be mom's. I do have a couple frizzle cochin chicks at the moment. I...

Do you know if I could breed that out? And possible how? I assume it is a flaw.... Although I tink it looks pretty ... Lol
