Today I went and picked up my free chickens. 3 hens and a big roo, they are Black Cochins! I can't wait to see them outside again, their green shows up so much better outside. I will add more pics when they are out tomorrow. But I had to share with people that will love them as much as I do.
I was told they are only 8 months old!
I am trying to come up with a name for the Roo. His is just so big and manly I want a ruff tuff name for him, like Zuse or Apollo. He is not mean so far, I had to catch them myself and he did not try and attack me when I went after his girls first.
Guess we will see how he acts for the next few days.
