Good morning all! I had a nice chicken day yesterday. I let all the "kids" in the barn which I rarely do because they like to climb on the hay bales and poop all over them (which the horses do not appreciate and which worries me from an illness standpoint for the horses). I was in one of the...- FarkerFarms

I have one black Cochin Cockerel available for free to a good home! I am pretty sure he is a he. 7-8 months old. Super personable and easy going. Good home a must!- FarkerFarms

Chick Rookie snagged the bulk of them - all except the Cochins and the BLRW (those are going to Brad and SallyInIndiana). Maybe you can sweet talk her into giving up one of the EE's? I'm open to it if she is :) I just want good homes for them, poor things getting uprooted in the middle of winter.- FarkerFarms

I believe they have all been spoken for but I'll let you know if any of them fall through and come back available! I can't believe they went that quickly during a snow storm!- FarkerFarms

You can have them for free - but only if you give me a couple of their offspring when the time comes for me to get back into chickens :) I'd love to be able to follow them and I know you will post pictures!!!!- FarkerFarms

I'm going to be re-homing a bunch probably. I inherited a couple more horses and it is just too much for me right now without help :( I have pretty much reached my breaking point with this Apocalypse storm. I'll give them to good homes for free (don't want them slaughtered). Let me know if...- FarkerFarms

Ha ha that was the plan...we thought we purchased a pullet and a cockerel, but jury is still out on genders. They are the same size, have large combs/wattles but don't seem to have saddle feathers. Their neck feathers are super long too. I haven't seen either crow or lay an egg so darned if I...- FarkerFarms

Thanks! I am really smitten with the Cochins and have only had them a couple of months. I guess I am glad I am out of room or I would be searching for a splash or a lemon blue Cochin to add to the flock (or both!). As far as my coop, It is a nice building and huge, so my hope was that there...- FarkerFarms

I also got some pictures of the Cochins!!! They are so pretty in the sun with the green sheen! One of the pictures is of them "helping" me tack up my horse for a ride :) They are so sweet and friendly - mostly I think because they are sure I am a human treat dispenser. For birds that weren't...- FarkerFarms

I'm not sure what to do with my 14 next week. With a high of -6 and three days with lows in the double digit negatives, I worry that I don't have enough ventilation in my coop. This is my first winter with the chickens. A couple of them had some discoloration (not terribly bad, but...- FarkerFarms

He is a Friesian - young though so not as much hair (it has grown in a bit since this pic was taken). I actually have another older Friesian as well. If you are close to me I am always looking for riding buddies!- FarkerFarms

Mine is also built into an existing shed - but due to my lack of storage in my house/horse barn I couldn't use the whole thing for the chickens. The shed/coop is to the left of the horse barn. The shed is huge so I was able to enclose one side of the shed and still have storage in the rest of...- FarkerFarms
