I have three White Chanteclers. The oldest one, Cottonball, is the head hen of our flock and is smart and kind. Our other two hens, Aurora and Borialis, are docile and lay many eggs, and are good...

Cochin
Reviewed by BravewingTheHen

Cochins are soooooo sweet! I have a little Golden Laced Cochin pullet, and if I tap the ground she comes to me, and if I tap my lap she hops up on it.

I have had 3 Ameracanas and they have all been rather skittish - however, my most recent one is not nice at all! As a matter of fact, her main goal is to walk around and PECK any other hen that...

We've been raising these birds for years. Aside from a tendency to heat intolerance, the biggest downside to this breed is the HUGE amount of poop they produce - think turds the size of golf...

I believe it depends on which breed you want to get. I think if they are a native (like the trumpeter) you need a game farm permit but if they are not native (like black neck swans) you don't need one, but don't quote me on that. Call your local DNR. They can give you the answer you need.

I'm looking for some nice looking (show quality) mille fleur OEGBs. Any one have chicks or hatching eggs, please let me know price with shipping to zip 56347. Any adults within driving distance would be even better. Thanks!
