Hey everyone! Im thinking about getting some bantam cochins. I saw some at a trade sunday that looked like they were blue splash, couldve been lemon blue splash as well or even just had some brassy colored feathers. Im sure theres blue splash, but what about lemon blue splash or am I making that...
Thanks for your replies! I love raising babies so maybe ill try that, or just get younger cockerels, rather than hatching my own. When I do get some ill probably get more hens anyways to make trios or quads.
The trade has always been nothing but flea market type stuff in my opinion.
As for animals, I asked a guy and his son what color his cochins were, all he said, "i dont know, all i know is they are bantams". I will never buy from people like that. If they dont know what they are selling, then I...
I went sunday. Let me just say, holy cow it was so empty! SOPA posted they had over 60,000 people or something like that show up saturday. I guess everyone sold out and left. I liked how much more room there was on the paths, it seemed less crowded. I plan on going on saturday in June.
I saw...

Thanks
Saw this post in my activity and thought id post again. I still haven't found another pig, I got a lionhead rabbit over a year ago. Shes a handful so Im not sure when ill get another pig. I would love to see everyone elses piggies though! I hope this thread gets active again!
I only breed for fun. The only fertile eggs I have right now are from brothers and sisters and I want babies so im tempted to hatch. They are seramas from a pair of pumpkins, so if I bred brothers and sisters would that produce more pumpkins or not?
Ive heard people say not to breed brother to sister for genetic reasons but others say theyve done it with no problem. What are your thoughts on this? Please explain it so its easy to understand, im clueless about genetics haha.
I feed the Nutrena brand in either the regular or the nature wise. Ive heard of good reviews on the brand and my chickens seem to like it. Its about $15 for 50 lbs.
Alot of it is junk in my opinion, but the trade is a huge deal for people in this area. I just didnt find anything worthy of buying becides the chickens so thats how id describe it. Some animals are in nasty cages with dirty water, but some look like they are well cared for so I figured it would...
