I have to say it has been a fat minute since I last posted ( Like 3 years or so!). I think my birds have come a ways since then. Are they perfect? Heck no but they are better. Sad to see this topic so empty these days. I have been working on hard on these guys. I am getting closer to where I...
Ok I have a question. I have read a number of conflicting things in regards to breeding Mille Fluers using patridge in the line. Some for it and some against it. At this point I am completely confused. Could anyone possibly explain this all to me? I know some are using Golden Laced instead...
Nice! Here is a wing photo.. not the best but should give an idea on the pattern that I am seeing so far with my chipmunk chicks on their wings. These chicks are almost a week old. Sorry it's blurry.
I am seriously excited. The chipmunks wing feathers that have come in already have pattern on them. I know it changes but it has me hoping for them to be on the money later.
Ok well here are my new biddies. From Humpty and his girls. This is a few of them. I am hoping the next hatch looks just as good. Poor Humpty he will be getting switched out of this pen So that I can use a new rooster in there.

Sure thing. I won't be selling any for quite awhile yet.Working on getting my place set up for NPIP first. No diseases here I just want to get all my I's dotted and T's crossed lol.
New babies! These are from my Millie Cochins.. Please excuse the brooder. I had to very hurriedly move the last chicks out before being able to get it spotless. (Huge hatch and had to move chicks so that they would not be squished by other eggs). A tiny little black bantam cochin hatched these...

OK any who I would love your thoughts on this little roughly 6 month old Cockerel. I am liking what I see so far. I posted pics of him previously i this thread. His breast is...
I raise some mille /calico,black,red,blue and I have some barred.I have exactly one mottle at this point but am planning to add to that. Eventually I am phasing out the barred ones completely. I am aiming at obtaining Buff Columbian, more mottles,Partridge and black tailed red sets. I am wanting...
Orps does she have access to a rooster? I am positive she is a hen. Sometimes if a hen has no access to a rooster they wil themselves start acting like one all the way down to trying to crow and succeeding with that crow!)

Yeah on the last one I am so far loving everything but that comb.Except for his comb I like his build the best.I keep going back and forth on him.My husband said to wait and let him grow out before we make a definite decision on him. Neither the hen or rooster had a twisted comb but this...
This fellow here is one that came out of a gorgeous buff mottle hen and a black rooster. He is currently about 5 months old. give or take a week. We had gotten him as a buddy to a single polish chick we had at the time(mom rejected the one biddy). Needed company and my FIL had this fellow...
