I would like to hear some funny or crazy chicken stories!
Here is my favorite, when I first decided to buy chickens I bought one cochin hen and one OEG Rooster. I wanted them to be free range. When I got the chickens home, the hen stayed in the barn and the rooster went crazy and flew right...
I was wondering what success breeders have had breeding and selling ornamental chickens. I have some very nice cochins, d'uccles, sultans, and polish that I would like to breed next spring and sell. What are some other breeders ideas for marketing the birds to the right buyers? This year, we had...
Hello! I would love to find someone with bantam barred or mottled cochins in North Florida, South Georgia/Alabama. I live around Tallahassee, so anywhere within a 2-3 hours drive would be nice. Thank you!!!!
My Mille Fleur D'Uccle is very pretty, but he can be pretty nasty sometimes. I have these pink muck boots that I wear in the barn, and he has attacked me three times when I wear them. Nothing too agressive, just tries to spur me I think. Everytime he does it so quickly I don't get a chance to...

Does anyone know about any upcoming poultry shows in Florida, Georgia, or Alabama? I know that the fairs sometimes have a poultry tent. I would love to go to an all poultry event. Thanks!!
There are a lot that I can think of, but I think that I would really like one of those polish frizzles:love. They are really fun to look at. I also really like barred cochins. Oooh, maybe a barred, frizzled polish. That would be fun!
I have a hen who is not the brightest crayon in the box. While her intentions are good, last time I let her hatch chicks, she was a terrible mother. Pecking her chicks on the head, leaving them behind, it was a mess.
So now she insists on going broody, on nothing! She has not layed an egg in...
Hello Everyone! I am new to this board and while I am very excited to join I need help with my favorite rooster, a Dutch Bantam named Little Jerry.
I do not know how old LJ is, I purchased him as an adult from the feed store. He is quite a character and has a terrible crow, but that's what...
