    Calico Cochin Thread

    The two Calico girls of Monet's that I bought from you this Spring sure have plenty of foot feathers - and type to burn - although I'm no expert. Both Jasmine and Nigella - the self-blue - started laying at 6 months - two full months earlier than the previous pullet I got from you, and they are...

    Whether or not you get chickens from any of them, a great resource - if you are on Facebook - is to look up, then "like" CLUCK (Co-operative of Lexington Urban Chicken Keepers). Depending on what breeds you are interested in, some do have some chicks or started birds from time-to-time. They...

    Is anyone from this thread going to the Bluegrass Show in Frankfort on April 7, either to show or to swap?

    Cochin Thread!!!

    I just realized the 'tag' at the bottom of your posts doesn't list Partridge, but you show some on your website. Did you sell all your Partridge stock? (Oops! 'took another look and they are shown under Buff Columbian?) I don't know how you breeders choose which colors/patterns to work on -...

    Calico Cochin Thread

    Whenever you get ready to sell some of your lovely babies, and whatever you decide to part with, if you can find me girl or two with the same kind of personality as your Jasmine, I'll be thrilled!!! The personality is what made me love this breed! That and the poofy tail .......and the...

    If Mt. Healthy Hatchery is the supplier for your area TSCs like they are for mine, this is what they told me last week about the bantams they sell: "We only sell Bantams in an assortment of as hatched consisting of Mille Fleur, Golden Seabright, Red Pyle Old English and the Black and White...

    respiratory rattle

    I came home to something similar today. One hen - who was fine yesterday - has labored breathing through an open beak, but no sound at all - no wheezing or gurgling. She seems lethargic, but no diarreah or bloody poops. I have Sulmet on hand (bacterial pneumonia?) so I changed the water to...

    Cochin Thread!!!

    I've seen that photo, but I don't think it's a Cochin. I had good success feather sexing my bantam Orpingtons, but my understanding is not all breeds can be feather-sexed. Anyone know if Cochins can be for sure?

    Cochin Thread!!!

    So Mr. Ree......will you be bringing any of these chicks to Frankfort on April 7 for the swap? Even if I can't get red (yet) I'm still looking for a couple of smooth pullets for my micro-urban farm.

    How gorgeous! (why isn't the picture of that to-die-for chocolate rooster showing?) Danny, do you have any hens or pullets you could show us photos of?

    Oh Mr. Ree! I just noticed your tag at the bottom of your last post. Red Cochins!?! Do you think you might have an extra pullet or two this season? Maybe a reject from your program? But smooth please. I'm not looking a show bird, just pets and a few eggs, so temperment is more...

    I went to both Paris and Winchester. Not a whole lot at either one. I found a home for my rooster at Paris. A woman I know in Lex bought her bantam Cochins there in the past, and I was hoping, but no Cochins. There were Japanese bantams, Red Comets, some mixes, and two different people with...

    Mr. Ree : First off: I apologize for so many pics. It was very nice out today (sunny and 73, HEY!) so I ventured outside and took some pics, over 70 actually, of the younger birds I hatched and have coming along. Hope you guys enjoy. These are the same chicks I posted pics of a few weeks ago...

    BYC Spinning Fiber

    Quote: Making a spindle is ridiculously easy. Using one takes some practice. Even someone who is good at it will need a long time to spin enough yarn to do anything with. Romney is wonderful to start with - easy to spin, takes dye beautifully, not as soft as some, but makes great socks...

    Quote: Sure! Spinning fiber can be harvested from Fuzzy Lops, just like it can from long haired cats, dogs......well, you get the idea. You won't get a lot, and unless you just want to make a sample skein of the pure bunny fiber, you will want to card it together with something - most...

    Quote: Hmmm, you live in my town and have bantam Cochins, huh? I have one blue bantam Cochin pullet, 1 bantam Brahma hen, and 2 Buff bantam Orpingtons - one of them is a pullet, the other one looks like a roo, but doesn't act like it, so I' m waiting for an egg or a crow. I don't have...
