    Ice is back with a brand new invention

    I call this comb a star comb.. it starts with a big S at the front and ends in points of a star 🌟 🥰

    Ice is back with a brand new invention

    Rufous is rather a spectacular specimen so it would be a real shame if this comb feature is a no go zone And that is Ziggy standing behind him.. Dad to both boys.. He's more orange while Rufous is more red🥰 and Ziggy has a few white feathers in his crest while Rufy is.. well.. rufous crested...

    Ice is back with a brand new invention

    So I've just picked up Rufous.. my favourite roo and inspected his comb carefully. He is also one of Ziggys sons, and Ice's brother from another mother 😆 He also has an interesting comb.. s shaped but with a nice straight blade. At the back end of the blade it also splits in 2 to create a lil...

    Ice is back with a brand new invention

    Ya it reminds me a bit of a kings comb or coronation comb.. and I have some confusion over coronation vs side sprigs. This doesn't look like side sprigs as the comb splits kinda v like.. whereas side sprigs sprout off a blade and don't look cool imho. Love your chooks comb. I understand that...

    Ice is back with a brand new invention

    Hello friends, This is Ice. He is part of my Crested Ophir Bantam breed creation program. He has the funkiest coolest comb... a wickel comb ending in a forked cup. Essentially terminating in a v shape. Ziggy, his Dad, has a traditional wickel comb (aka S shaped comb) ending in a single blade...

    Preserving "lacing" in breeding

    Update.. My little sebright cross is showing a teenie tiny bit of cresting so I am realising her cross is already to Ziggy (Sire), my first crested rooster. I'm not sure if I should breed her back to Ziggy.. or my new biggest crested boy, Ziggy's son, Rufous.. from the onset. Her Mum was a pure...

    Urgent! How do I keep my 4 chooks in suburbia safe from a nearby snake?

    My birds kill snakes, and they are just bantams... well they alarm call very loudly first so it's pretty hard to ignore them. It frustrates me because the poor harmless ones will get taken out too. Snakes are wonderful to have in the garden to control the vermin... and very few are actually...

    Thank you 🥰 No thread yet.. but I'm sure there will be one soon. She is literally hilarious.. just her walking about makes me giggle as she is so comical. A friendly girl.. with a lot of personality. She also produces stunning babies but since they are all born with huge vaulted skulls and she...
