    Chicken Breed Focus - d'Uccle bantams

    I am considering adding d'Uccle's this fall and an wondering how high they typically fly? Our current set up has a very large fenced yard that the chickens have free range in but our fences are only 6 feet high. We live in town and all the fences border neighbors yards that are definitely not...

    What to do with sole attack survivor?

    :welcomeSorry that it was a tragic event that brought you here.

    Are any of them pullets/hens? I hatched this year and all my bantam cochins were cockerels:barnie and we can't have roosters.

    Cochin or D'uccle started pullets

    Does anyone know of a breeder or hatchery that sells and/or ships cochin or d'uccle started pullets? I have had terrible luck this year in my gender ratio from hatched eggs (9 cockerels out of 13 eggs)and I really don't want to buy and hatch another batch. I live in city limits and cannot have...

    Bantam Cochins Gender Guesses

    I'm not sure I would do it but these are sure the sweetest little guys. When they were 3 weeks old I added two day old LF cochins in the brooder with them and they have been "mothering" them ever since. even though they are almost the same size now they let the babies crawl under them and sleep.:hit

    Yeah me too - hoping we're both wrong:barnie I live in city limits so no roosters allowed

    Bantam Cochins Gender Guesses

    Any guesses on these two Gold-laced bantam cochins? They are 7 weeks old and the only two who hatched. The look exactly alike so it has been challenging to determine gender with nothing to compare them to!

    Good quiet bread for smaller space?

    Personally, I have found my cochins and faverolles to be my quietest chickens. I've had both LF and bantams of both breeds. They have all also been friendly and easy to handle. Buckeyes also are quiet and handle confinement well - however, they fly better than the other two breeds.

    Hey all - long time since I last posted. Enjoyed the show at Monroe last week. So my niece asked me to get to and hatch some eggs for her. We choose olive egger project eggs. 4 of which hatched as naked necks. Two from really dark splash maran eggs and are white/splash looking and the other two...
