Hello, everyone! I have thirty-four chickens, although I wish to first introduce my rooster, Phoenix. He is my flockmaster, and he is a Cochin/Ameraucana hybrid. I am unsure of who his parents were, since we purchased him from a backyard breeder. We originally got him because we wanted a rooster who could fertilize the hens' eggs in case we wanted to hatch eggs of our own. However, we quickly learned that Phoenix did not know how to breed properly, so he rarely fertilizes anything. Now he is just for his appearance and funny personality!
