it's not dogs. there is no way for a dog to get into the pen. not to mention I raise Akita's and they are next to the chicken yard. If another dog comes into my yard the akitas would pick a fight. The opening for the chickens to go into the house is too small for my akitas to fit through and...

polish 1
polish 2
any guesses on what color Cochin this is?
Giants would be cool. I picked up 3 like #10 and 3 like #11 today. Feathersite has a description of the bottoms of the feet being a difference between Australorps and Giants... and the bottoms of the feet on these guys are different and fit the description.
Australorps differ from Black Jersey...
doggone TSC went and lured me in with hopes of more chicks. I'm thinking 10 may be a black australorp. not sure about 7 or 11. figure 8 is probably an EE
