    What is this roo?

    Recently acquired rooster from a neighbor who bought it at the local expo. His daughter has bought an identical rooster from there, different breeder, which leads me to believe it isn't a mutt, although it looks to me like some type of sultan/silkie mix. Does anyone know what he is?

    Can not get the chickens to stay out of the neighbors barn.

    Can not get the chickens to stay out of the neighbors barn.

    new white sultan hen rescued-- questions.

    So we bought a white sultan hen. She is tagged, and I don't think she has ever been ab;e to be outside. I think she was a warehouse chicken. Cause she doesn't really move or interact with the others much, all she does is sit in the same place all day, and she eats with the rest of the flock. We...

    2 banty roos: Mutts or breed?

    Naw, not golden comet. I don't believe they come as bantams and golden comet roosters are white, not orange. The full size rooster in the pic next to Cinnamon is a golden comet.
