Hi everyone,
I have a couple questions after I visited the state fair in puyallup this year.... I saw a couple chickens that I wish I could have stuffed in my purse, left a check and took home with me big_smile.png

Does anyone know the following owners of these?

Black bantam Cochin pullet (Rob Smith)
Huge buff Cochin hen (Paige Preece)
A Mille fluer Cochin pair (I forgot the name on them)

I would love to know who bred those and if they sell eggs/chicks or would be willing to sell the actual chicken when they ate ready to change projects...

They were gorgeous :-)

Farm Mother to: 1 Chocolate Orpington Roo, 1 lt. Sussex Roo, 1 barnevelder hen, 1 buff orpington hen, 1 oegb hen, 2 mix hens, 2 Lavender Orpingtons, coop full of mille Fleur project bantam cochins, 3 Copper Marans, 2 Wheaton Americanas, 2 Columbian Wyandotte Bantams, 1 Japanese Bantam, 2 horses, 1 mini donkey, 1 dog and 2 cats, Phew that is alot when you have to type it all out!!!

I don't know if it is the Avian form, but it seems humans can get a form of Cocci:

Speaking of animal to human infections...

 

I thought it was interesting to watch the interview between Dr. Oz and the two doctors who saved the life of the young girl who became ill with the Bubonic Plague.  One of the doctors mentioned that there were multiple possibilities of where she could have contracted it - of those, two of them she mentioned included flea bites from fleas near the dead squirrel that the little girl was looking at, and from rat feces the girl may have been in contact with while playing in a chicken coop.

 

And another article - different fleas, different squirrel, different location: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/10/squirrel-bubonic-plague-california-tests-positive_n_1954502.html

Still looking for advice on when and how to reintroduce our injured hen, Salma, to the flock. Stubborn little thing clearly feels she's ready but she still has scabs healing on her face and wattles. Please help!

I'm nobody's wife or mother. Leftist, feminist, atheist, polyamorous, activist, dancer, musician, outlaw. Going to have chickens again when I move out to Whidbey Island next year, but right now I'm just a dreamer. Mostly I'm here to obsess over what breeds I want!

Today is day 18.

 

I'm just going to sit on my hands and hope for the best.  I wonder if their rocking was the embryos responding to being turned every 45 minutes.  They would settle down, the egg wouldn't move, then they would start rocking on their own, then the turner would turn them, and they'd go through that process again.  idunno.gif

Hatching is exhausting. Chicks rest a LOT during the process.

I wish I could help.  I have no idea.  It's frustrating not knowing what to do, isn't it?  hugs.gif

 

I had to kennel my little Drama away from the other two girls for quite a while while her leg healed - it about drove all of us up a tree.  They wanted to be together so bad.  Toward the end, Drama stayed in a plastic dog carrier, but the dog carrier was out with the other girls.  It was all Caunnie could take to not be able to be inside that dog carrier, too.  And when I finally let Drama free, Caunnie hung out in the dog carrier for a while.  I guess she thought the grass was greener inside the carrier.  Then she got bored with it and realized it wasn't all she thought it would be.   Silly bird.

Here's a question, I have (supposedly) 9 hens a laying, but I usually get only 6 to 7 eggs and 7 is a rare occasion  and never more then that. How does that stack up with the rest of you that have been doing this a lot longer them me. (nubie) ?


LOL!!  That's ok, I have 15 and I have been getting only one egg every other day if I'm lucky!!  he.gif
