If these waterers aren't fairly level they leak -- that's pretty obvious. We don't have a lot of flat level spots in our chicken areas, so decided to hang our waterers and let gravity level them...

Oh, it's hard to decide what to do with the cockerels. I have two little silkie x EE crosses that are so cute. So who would you keep?

Pretty boy in front here. He's skittish and thinks I'm always out to eat him.

And the other pretty boy. He is more curious and hangs out with the adults sometimes.

And here are the two together.

I really only have room to keep one of them. I need to get a big rooster for my big girls, and these guys won't be that big.

So which one do you think is cutest?

They're both so cute! I see why it's so hard to choose one.

If it were me i'd keep the one that hangs out with the rest of the adults, he sounds like a quick learner.

I agree--I like him better too just based on his "look" too~

What's the two things they tell you are healthiest to eat? Chicken and fish. You know what you should do? Combine them, eat a penguin.

Primary breeds I raise/sell eggs and chicks from: EE, dark Cornish bantams, silkies of mixed color, bantam cochins of mixed color, Naked Neck/showgirls, BLRW bantams, Khaki Campbell ducks, and Coturnix quail.

My DH likes the looks of him better, too. Finally got him to give and opinion. I was out checking them over, and he's easier to catch. He doesn't quite resign himself to his fate yet and wait for it, but you don't have to worry about him freeking when you do get him. He just sits there and waits to get down.

I like the second one, the one that's more buff colored and hangs out with the big guys

Want to buy good quality bantam Cochins in Mille Fleur, Splash and Mottled. Will pay to ship the right birds.

I guess I'll be the odd duck out and say I like the first one better. Even though the second one is better for hanging out with the adults. So based just on looks I would say the first one.
