The project pullets should lay fairly dark eggs comparable to the FBCM.

 

Yeah, I'm addicted to those bantam cochins so it's not easy keeping myself from hatching them. I just can't resist their feather footed cuteness! LOL

My birds are in my siggy.. Although the numbers tend to change fairly frequently, my chicken math is pretty messed up...

I keep driving past and stopping the parking lot, but so far I have not gone in roll.png

 

All this talk of chicks again has me going crazy... I really am a sick chicken addicted person, and I told DH it's official, I want an incubator for Christmas=)

My mille fleur/calico bantam cochin are laying too. I think I need to hide my incubators from myself. LOL

 

Oh dear oh dear, on the Utah thread they're talking about mille fleurs, here bantam cochins (blue at that, love those blue feathers), olive eggers...   I may have to run out of the room screaming for self-control....  (But you don't live that far away, Michelle, now do you?? Just a quick little drive over and back with more chickens, free ones even!)

Haha, ditto, I love my little bantams, they are so cute and their feathers make them look like they just waddle around all over the place.. and you have so many different colors, I think it's official, I'll have to make room for a bantam cochin pen somewhere...

Off topic, but does anybody know what a fair price is for weaned dorper ewe lambs? I'm thinking about selling two of our spring lambs to help with some expenses that came up. Plus.....we have plenty of lambs. :)

I've always found checking prices on Craigslist to give me a good starting point helps.

Hey Pawtraitart,   My Blue Orpingtons are so darn beautiful!!  I am getting ready to butcher the extra cockerals and wow will that be hard.  I am wondering if you or any one can tell me more about the five points that a cockeral is supposed to show on his comb... is that from tip to back or just the points.  Anyone know what I mean?

 

Thanks all, Beth

It's not just about the points, but about the overall balance/shape/size of the comb as well. Maybe you could post some comb pictures in the orpington thread? I'm sure you'd get a lot of specific input, there. :)

I wonder if ksl.com has lambs??  They have a lot of listings of other stuff, might be a good reference..
