Before I bought them I did not know that they are a mixed breed. I thought they were Araucana. I love them just the same. No eggs yet as they are babies.

I had a RIR that was a scalper. I ended up having 4 hens in my garage healing up their combs. He ended up on the table. He was a very sweet guy otherwise. Just to harmful when mounting. My girls were terrorized. So, I know how ya feel. I was looking for a home for him, but since everyone wanted him for dinner, I decided he'd be better on my plate.

Its the little things in life that are supposed to make you happy. Well, I just want a little more money. A little more would make me happy.

Aw, poor Derp. Thankfully chickens heal very well especially with TLC. I'm glad you found a nice home for Mr. Gullin with a fellow BYCer.

Thank you for the delightful mental image of little Derp sheltering Coho's head.

Fud Lady, how many roos do you have? Is Gullincambe the only one?

Someday, I might have the honor of having chickens. Meanwhile, I'll just sit here and cry
My BYC best friends are polishchickens111, ChickenPeep, and willowbranchfarm!
I have two budgie birdies, Sunny and Snowy. And guess what they are... Weatherbirds!

Attention everyone! I used to be "Birdies", but I changed my name! Just letting you know

Gullin is my only roo. He was an accident! I really like having a roo around to watch over my girls... they don't free range unless I'm out with them, but even when I'm out there he spots hawks before I do, and is good about herding the girls. I wonder if there are gentler roosters out there that would be good for my flock? :(
