Looking for someone who breeds Mille Fleur/Calico bantam cochins. Either someone who ships chicks or older birds, or someone who is local to New Mexico or surrounding.
Interested in starting a little breeding project on my own :)
Okay so I picked up 5 "pullets" about 4 weeks ago. 2 barred rock & three cuckoo Marans.
The Marans WERE younger and smaller, now they are bigger than the rocks. They were apparently 5&7 weeks when I got them, respectively. So my rocks are now 10/11 weeks but I get the impression that they are...
What's the deal on this pullet?
She's my "most mature" girl out of the bunch, I think they are around 16 weeks old, without counting.
She has red around her face and her neck, I dont know much about them as they are my first. Is this normal?
When will they start looking like hens, all...
I live in New Mexico, can't find a light Sussex out here (mosly speckled) and I'm looking for pullets, but at this point might even venture for some chicks. Any good breeders around nearby or that ships?
So we are starting our little hobby farm. I have 9 chickens currently, non yet laying (but soon I hope!). We are starting a flock of Olde English Babydoll Sheep, a heritage breed and a small (miniature) sized sheep, to be herded by my Miniature American Shepherd. I have a miniature horse as...
One of these days I will bust out my nice camera but for now, phone pics it is...
Just had to show you all my Golden Laced Banties....they are so pretty and i just love the color with the black w/green sheen. They are being nice to my new Birchen Bantam rescue girl. Which is good since my...
*Edited to add* now that i look at other threads of similar aged australorps im happy to believe she's just a healthy girl! i found other threads where 12 weekers looked MUCH more rooster like. still, take a look just in case. These are my first chickens and admittedly I don't know too much on...
It's been a long time since I have been around chicks on the farm I used to help out at, back when I was 10. I do remember chickens being somewhat cruel to each other.
My girls are still young, not even laying yet, (13 weeks or so). But I was hoping to add some chicks next year once it gets...
I'm thinking Pekin/cochin? Is there anything else she would be (clearly a bantam though). What do you call her color other than black, since she isn't completely solid.
I don't yet have a full body photo, I can try to get that tomorrow. For now I just have the one pick of her face & comb...
Hi all! I have to retype this cause my son deleted the last post that I wrote.
We just moved onto our property, and first priority for me was chickens! For now I used my 10x10 dog run that we hadn't used in a while. I covered the top with a roof, wired chicken wire on the bottom inside for...
