I am very interested My friend just called and let me know about them. My light brahma roo needs another hen and I love my welsummer hens ... using them in a OE project.
hmmm ... I figured the age was why I was not seeing comb yet .. dad has beautiful single comb .. he is definitely a frizzle cochin. Mom's comb is very small but all the female cochins I have (standard size) have small combs so never really thought much about it guess I need to go get a closer...
This little frizzle bantam cochin is around 8 weeks old. Not the best pics but one shows the head and the rest of them show the feathers. I have no idea what color this would be classified as. The father is a white frizzle and mom is a partridge. The chick is just losing all the baby down so is...
I am new to the frizzles but quickly fell in love with my white bantam cochin roo (Flash), Recently he and a smooth partridge cochin hen hatched two frizzle babies. The babies are about 8 weeks old and definitely in the awkward stage of feather growth. I have two questions that I hope someone...
hmmm .... guess I may have to get two roos eventually. I have had the splash girl since she was about a week old and at the moment she runs around with a brahma roo and his two ladies.
When I am ready to try to breed her I will remove her from that group. It may upset her a little since she...
I picked up a blue splash pullet back in May and today I picked up a Lemon Cuckoo pullet (also hatched in May) and I want to breed the ladies once they begin to lay.
I like the coloration of these two ladies but have no idea what roo I should pick up and what combinations of colors they may...
The behavior started about 2 weeks ago and I really cannot pin point any reason that it began. My other roos either back away completely or come join the hens as they eat treats out of my hands.
He always holds back and watches me and usually when I am feeding a different group will make the...
I raised this rooster from about 3 days old and handled him very frequently. He was so sweet but now at @ 7 months old he has decided that it is ok to try to flog me. He is a silkie mix with no spurs so does not really hurt me and weighs less than 3 lbs. He still enjoys being held and stroked...
Thanks. I think he is pretty and it makes me happy that others think he is pretty too. Just sad that he cannot be used in a breeding program. LOL he loves the ladies but they are not so wild about him plucking their tail feathers. He has a pretty courtship dance.
His personality is good lol...
Thanks. The pictures do not do him justice. He has lots o turquoise and purple shimmers throughout his feathers. :( Just wanted to cry when he crowed though. I called him Ebony and the silkie Ivory for a long time then one morning he cocked his head to the side and bellowed out his first crow...
He does have 5 toes.
The white earlobes like his comb seem to be growing faster than the rest of him. He is such a funny guy and thinks he is the biggest roo out there.
I originally bought him from Tractor Supply because he was trying to keep other chicks from attacking the silkie after...
