    NY chicken lover!!!!

    Angus is doing super! He works well with the silkie roo that I still have, although his lady friend has apparently switched loyalties. He does a great job and my Mom loves him. I know I haven't been online much, I got a new job working for the County and they keep me insanely busy - training...

    I've been AWOL (comp is down and got a new job!!) but I hope everyone had a wonderful New Years! My flock is doing super well, Angus and Timmy work together as if they were brothers ( and they roost next to eachother!), have a new coop setup and found this article. My Dad sent it over, I am...

    And I think I'm gonna need you guys to talk me down from *gulp* squirreling up all winter to buy another coop and getting meat birds. I am so disappointed in the last few store chickens that I've gotten, they don't taste like anything. I go out of my way to order specality seasonings that...

    Even in reduced daylight? The only artifical light they will get will be some LED christmas lights that are on a timer - just enough for me to find the wood pile and see the stairs, don't think it'll do much for the ladies. I was actually hoping they'd take a break for winter, lol. My fanny...

    Wow, I do this to myself when I go AWOL due to work....just read the last 30+ pages, my head is going WOW!.. Some great photos, wish I had room for more birds here. The brabanter roo I got from tao is doing wonderfully! Angus is working together with Timmy, the runt silkie roo with no tail...

    I keep reading about these molts, all of my girls look just fine and are laying like champs...out of 16 hens I got 15 eggs yesterday, 12 the day before, etc. I told my Mom that production might slow down so we are making all of our freezeable cookie batters over the next 2 weeks. Now, all of...

    He's about 6 months. Couldn't be a sweeter fellow, he just adores that ISA that hangs out with him.

    Ooof, working overtime like a bear! On a super duper high note, Angus the Brabanter roo is doing splendidly! All the ladies have accepted him as the new king of the coop and he is doing a fine job of watching over them. Timmy the silkie cockerel is learning, lol. He has 1 ISA hen that sleeps...

    Cream Brabanter Chicks

    Hooray! A thread on the breed! I just got a Brabanter roo and he is just the most darling fellow, Angus is a delight! I'm new-ish to chickens and had no idea that a roo could be such a cutie!

    And the trade went well....and somehow I have the tiniest silkie roo I have ever seen, and I don't even like silkies. Timmy has got to be only like, 3 pounds but Angus seems to "like" him. Zero crowing, no pecking through the fences. We shall see, he was hand raised due to his oddly small...

    Oooooh! Hooray! The lady I got the BR roo from will take him back!........on condition that I take a very young cockerel instead. Fair with me. And her silkies are all spoken for, I don't quite rember who asked....once I make the trade off, I'll review the posts more thoroughly.
