Charlotte had to prove something to me this afternoon and I just can't believe the timing after just asking when a JG crows. My husband is grilling and calls me out there. A terrible sounding little sound comes out of the coop. Charlotte crowed!!! And again, and again...
Yep, that pick is just what my Charlotte looks like. Maybe Charles now. Jemima and "Charles" look just the same age and sound very much alike.
Great, I'm going to have to change my name from Rausch Hens to Rausch Hens and Roo.
Oh, another question... When do JG's crow? About what age do...
Wow, I never thought about saving my first egg... I just got my first Comet egg a few days ago and still have it in the fridge. I love the idea of making an ornament or something. Very cool ideas and the kids would probably love making something. Thanks.
Need a little help... I posted my picture of Charlotte on page 85. I don't have another current picture at the moment but her tail pretty much fell out during her first molt and two longer curled tail feathers have come in and some "saddle feathers" have sprung up. No crowing yet (4 months...

Love it here.
I have 5 chicks that are now 3 months old. They are lovely girls and very friendly.
We...
Just asking for some ID help. I got my girls from feed shops that didn't know exactly what they had (mix up on order). I need help with the two girls on the left next to my Jersey Giant. One looks to be Gold-Wyandotte in middle but her head is so red compared to pictures I have seen and her...
Wow, they look a lot like the mystery chick I have about that age. She was in with turkeys at a feed store and they didn't know what she was but guessed gold lace wyandotte. Yours have a little more stripe than mine do but very close. Now I wonder what I have too.
