    Nesting Rooster

    He is a good rooster and not human aggressive like my last rooster. So now I have 1 more thing to love about him. The columbian wyandotte in the 1st pic is the only 1 not laying yet. Shes 39 weeks now. I guess this was for her benefit.

    Nesting Rooster

    Can anyone tell me why my rooster gets in the nest boxes? He gets in and settles in for a few minutes then gets out. The girls will gather around and talk about it, then he comes out. All but 1 of the girls have started laying although several are on winter break. So whats the deal? My old...

    Not a Lavender Orpington??

    They did refund and we went to TSC the same day and got 4 bantams so all is good

    Not a Lavender Orpington??

    Thanks. I did get a Sapphire Olive egger and a calico princess. It makes sense that she shr would be a hybrid since she's such an unusual color. I got a nice variety except that they only sent 7 instead of 10. So my daughter picked out 4 bantams at the store to make up the difference. :)

    Not a Lavender Orpington??

    I'm not worried about breed. I just enjoy the guessing game and I drives me crazy when can't figure 1 out. She is beautiful though and sweet and a joy to have in my little flock.

    Not a Lavender Orpington??

    She came in a rare and standard batch from Hoovers if that helps

    Not a Lavender Orpington??

    I'm beginning to question all of my guesses this time. I thought (excitedly) that this was a Lavender Orpington but now realize they don't have yellow legs and she does. Any guesses?

    Jersey giant or something else?

    I didnt think about araucana or americauna because she doesn't have puffy cheeks or beard but not all of them do. I guess I'll have to wait for an egg. Shouldn't be long now. My sapphire olive egger and 2 white leghorns started last week. 1st eggs are always exciting.

    Jersey giant or something else?

    Thanks. She has a sweet personality, too. Ive had fun figuring out the breeds of all of them but she's the only one that i haven't figured out.

    The MMM looks to have a single comb though.

    Official BYC Poll: Do You Keep a Rooster?

    My current rooster and the 1 across the road talk to each other several times a day. Now I have a young bantam cockerel that has just started to join in. I'm waiting to see if my HRIC (head rooster in charge) will let me keep him.:fl

    Jersey giant or something else?

    I got this pretty girl from Hoovers in a group of rare and standard breeds. I thought she was a Jersey Giant but she has a pea comb. Her feathers have a beautiful green sheen to them. She's not an Australorpe. What do y'all think?
