    Furness Colour Genetics

    Yes, I want to keep a trio of their solid black full sibs to use. So to start, pen one with the pair. A second pen with a pair of black siblings, possibly a pen with the 2nd cockerel and a black sibling, and a 4th pen with wheatens. And then swap roosters between them as needed. Any tips possibly?

    Here come the Cicadas

    Geese, as well as ducks and chickens are not vegetarians. They'll eat them if they want to, it's not going to hurt them and they'll probably love it if you haven't fed them any sort of insects or fish before. If you haven't, that in itself is them lacking a fully balanced diet.

    What chicken breed(s) is/are YOUR favorite? Why?

    Bantam cochin, ameracaunas (ees and ameracauna crosses too), barred rock and silkie. I absolutely love my bantam cochins and silkies, they have the best personalities and make great mother's. My BR hens have so much personality and are first to run up to you and talk. My ameracaunas are my...

    What color are these cochin bantams?

    My black cochin bantam hen went broody on 3 cochin bantam eggs, 5 blue/green eggs and two other cross eggs. I set one of my incubators with 8 cochin bantam eggs, 7 blue/green eggs and 7 sex link green layers. So we'll see in a few weeks if I can grow out some more cochin bantams of that color...
