This is my rooster i hatched out about 8 months ago. He is bantam cochin mix. I'm not sure who his mom was. I think he turned out pretty. I love the black with the copper color around his neck. Hes also so sweet and gentle with his ladies and attentive to them. Hes also very sweet to me, hes...
My mom has chickens ranging from 3 years to 2 years old. All of them free range, they get treats, oyster shells, quality feed, their coop is regularly cleaned and there's no poison being used on their property. They clean their waters too. A year ago her first chicken just dropped dead with no...
Hatched a turkey bantam cochin mix. A silkie cochin mix and a Easter egger Orpington mix chick. I also hatched one that I'm completely unsure what it is but pretty sure it's Orrpington mix. I'm in love! Who else loves mixing and seeing what you get?? I just do this once in a blue moon. I...
