We love our Nankin hen. She's very sweet and good natured, excellent bird for beginners or kids. She comes when called, she's an excellent bug hunter, likes to sit on your lap (or head, or...
I have 6 Barnies, they did start laying at about 28 weeks, but that is not an issue with me. Most of my poultry did. They don't lay the really dark eggs, but they are large, dark brown and some...
Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard....
I will start by saying that I love Australorps. In fact, my very favorite hen is an Australorp. She is such a sweet chicken and just let's you walk right up to her to pick her up. She doesn't run...
My adolescent layers were harder on my meaties. Just make sure they have enough space, and more than one feeder so no one can dominate all the feed, and everything should be fine. Plus, the meaties are gone in like 8 weeks, so any problems will be short lived!

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!

Doubtful. I mean its possible, the cornish rocks and the egg layers will all be in the same "flock"(y/n?) so I assume they will bicker to establish dominance just like any other group of chickens and that can lead to loss of life, though highly unlikely. I dont know really anything about cornish rocks, since I have never in my life met one, let alone owned one, but it seems that the general consensus here is that they are extremely docile.
