I'm going to start a cochin projects including gold laced and lavender Cochins. However, options are limited it seems. You can get lav Cochins in bantam, but I'm set on the end result being LF. So I was wondering if to get the bigger end result I should add, say, orpingtons. Wyandottes have way...
Skyline will you be selling any chicks or hatching eggs? All the lav Cochins I find are bantam. Which are fine if I have to, but is like to get more meat than that but my heart is set on Cochins of certain colors.
Dwarf Nigerians were my go to originally but man Nubians are really cute, and there are some minis available around here. Granted, the minis are only 3rd generation or less so I expect their not too small. Size isn't really an issue unless they'll be hard to handle/more stubborn if they think...
Thank you for the opinions thus far. And yes, I apologize for the extreme statement... Comes pretty naturally after hearing so many negative remarks against pitbulls, I suppose. That doesn't excuse me saying such a thing. This is not the right place for such comments. My bad.
I plan on having...
I haven't gotten my chickens yet, but the only place I feel I can put my coop in within my dogs under-ground electric fencing is. Now, that's fine if I have to put a run around the coop, I suppose, but I was thinking that my dog is likely to keep predators at bay when he's outside, and I would...
Hi. Next month, with the help of some friends, I'm building my coop! I'm going to attempt to start a isabel laced cochin project.
I've done a lot of research on the genetics side and I know it's not going to be quick and/or easy, but I would like a starting point and to know what other people...
These are the current plans for the coop. These will be, actually, reversed now that we have decided to put the coop on the side of the house, next to the porch and stairs, that way the sliding glass door is easier to get into.
These plans were built/inspired around what we have. We have...

I know what you mean. While perhaps religion hasn't been the actual issue, the same kind of mentality of being afraid of something other than what they believe is an issue. My family is the kind that is extremely ashamed of me for things like owning a pitbull, being an artist, going to...
@The Chicken Lady - Thanks for cleaning the things up, it seems a shame that people thought I was whining when all I was ever doing was explaining a situation. I'm glad, however, there ARE supportive people here.

What beautiful birds!!!
I am interested in creating a porcelain breed using lacing instead of mille fleur/mottled patterning.
I just love that coloring. So soft and pastel. ♥
I must admit I don't understand this. This must be more about each persons needs to being met. I married the first guy that would even consider dating me. He is still one of less than 5 guys that I can ever remember liking me, and or hitting on me. We are still married after 28 years. There are...
@Morgan: Thanks! Yeah, he's actually really well behaved concerning food though. He could totally jump on the table, but his way of begging is to be the best behaved ever and acts like he doesn't notice it.
@Tricia: Most likely an open yard and it's to make sure they don't run off. They're...
