I too love my roosters! There’s something so much more personable about them. They’re not as easy, and I never 100% trust them, but the good ones really are just the absolute best 😍
This is my bantam Brahma Ruby…with my daughter at the County Fair. She was bored and wanted to lay with him, so...
Been a busy month so I’m not at all caught up on the thread, but wanted to pop in and share some cute pics 😍
My project Watermaal ladies went broody and I was out of town for work…sooo,
I gave them a couple last Ameraucana eggs from by blue/splash pen and let them keep the eggs they’d...
I’ve had so many, but most friendly are my d’Anvers and bantam EEs that are Ameraucana/d’Anver crosses. I love them because they get excited to see you, love to say hi and visit you, and not a bit of aggression. Best chickens I’ve ever had for true snuggly and cuddly chickens though are bobtail...
The second roo is more the color and comb you want. First roo is lacking in the black coloring and his comb has too many sprigs (extra spikes). Hens look nice. And yes these are all quail colored :-)
Today I wrapped up grow out coop #2…installing the doors. I’ve decided I hate doors, they never come out like I plan. I measured so many times and was still off so much I ended up adding extra wood to the frame 😣 They look pretty good despite all the trouble though :)
Some of the babies seemed...
Those Leghorns sound like independent ladies! My bantam Bielefelder Baby Bee is that way! She escaped the run every day and wanders the yard by herself all day, then comes to the patio to roost at night. So every night she’s escorted to her coop…😍 Naughty girls but so cute!
Ohhh I hope it’s nothing serious like that 😣 Sounds like you’re doing all the things, so I’m hoping it’s enough! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I’m glad that everyone else is behaving and staying well though…knock on wood!
How are you doing? You staying healthy and healing from the injuries you sustained awhile back...
No! You tell Stanley that is NOT allowed! He needs to rest and recover quickly as he is needed and loved! Maybe some herbals would do him some good? Poor you! They just don’t wanna stay healthy for you! I hope it’s a passing thing and goes away with some extra love and rest!
Some of my BBS bantam grow outs 😍
Plus the last two pics are two FREE pullets a woman gave me 😍 The brown red girl appears to be beardless, but Fudge is a really pretty girl 🥰 Gotta love free Ameraucanas!
Blue is actually incomplete dominant (only needs one copy to show blue color), so a lavender bird could also be blue if the breeder mixed pens. Lavender is double recessive so you need to have both birds to give a copy in order for lavender to cover the base color of the bird. So while lavender...
There is a good chance he’s had his beard pecked out by the ladies…I have several bearded birds with a beard picking problem 😆 I had to scratch two from the Fair because the beards are gone 🤪
As for the mixing of the blue and self blue…there aren’t a lot of ways to identify them when they carry...
