    Rooster Hill Farm Raising chickens in Central Missouri purely for the pleasure of it. I have been raising chickens for many years. It all began as a hobby to provide eggs for our family. It has evolved into so much more. Now my two younger sons are involved with raising chickens for 4-H...

    Cochin Thread!!!

    I have hatched in the fall and have had no problems, maybe because I raise them indoors until they are big enough to handle it on their own. I was probably the one that asked about eggs before. I keep hoping that if I ask enough times and enough places, someone will be able to lead me in the...

    Cochin Thread!!!

    I am looking to purchase some bantam Patridge cochin eggs or chicks. We purchased a pair but she has yet to lay and I have a couple broody hens that I would love to get some started. We are looking for great quality, as my son will be showing them. Thanks. Missy

    Cochin Thread!!!

    Thanks for the info on Mille Fleur Cochins. He went through to pick out his favorites but has many more on the list. He also loves the Partridge,which I believe are more common, and the Brown, . We did look at the Cochin International site but struggled to find ones that listed any for sale. I...

    Cochin Thread!!!

    I would like to buy my son a breeding pair or trio of Lemon Blue or Mille Fleur bantam cochins that are SQ. There are no listed breeders in MO so I know I will need to have them shipped. He is an amazing young man that wants to raise quality birds. Does anyone have any available? I would prefer...

    Cochin Thread!!!

    Thank you. When I said standard bantam I meant bantam birds that meet the Standards of Perfection. Sorry for the poor wording. And we don't want all those varieties, those are just that colors we are most interested in. We would be happy to get any right now. I did email Cochin Coop,thank...

    I am looking for quality, standard bantam cochin eggs. I have a couple girls that are desperate to sit and my 4-H sons want cochins. I noticed that there are very few eggs for sale on here.

    I have a cat that often gets herself locked in and a golden retriever that is obsessed with going in the chicken house. But they are not even making a dent in the mice. I may have to resort to poison. But the feathers just make me want to cry. He is such a gorgeous bird, or at least he was until...

    Post Phoenix Pics Please

    HELP! My son's phoenix show rooster has been kept by himself so as to grow out his feathers before the fair. Last night, he snuck in the big house (they were all out in the yard last evening) and roosted so we let him stay for the night. When I went to move him back by himself today, his tail...

    Trauma in the hen house today. We had my son's show rooster put up by himself to let his tail feathers grow longer(phoenix). Well, last night he roosted early in the big house so we let him sleep in there for the night. When I went out to move him today, something had chewed off all his long...

    I am on the lookout for a RIR rooster. He must be a nice guy-no mean ones as he will be around children. I sold 4 of my laying hens to a friend today and he wants a RIR rooster to watch over them. As of today, I have rehomed 9 birds in the last month or so. All birds that we really were not...

    homemakerjulie- I went to Jacob's cave in the Spring and it was a severe letdown. We went on Friday and there was a lot of junk and horribly frostbitten birds. We did come home with a few nice birds but overall a big disappointment. pdsavage-I have a love of cute baby animals but must agree...

    No roosters needed here. Waded out in the mud to spend some time with the chickens. Let the chickens out in the yard to feast on cycadas. I have been putting straw in the pen to keep them out of the mud but this is getting ridiculous. It is supposed to be hot this weekend so maybe it will dry...

    We were on lock down today at my school for more than an hour due to tornado warnings. Usually kids don't take these things seriously but with all the tornadoes around us lately, the kids were perfect. We were all a little on edge. Then we heard about Sedalia. I too am glued to the TV. I was...

    Couldn't seem to break myself away from the news today. So incredibly devastating. Thoughts and prayers to everyone in the Joplin area. It makes me tear up to watch the news. Taskforce 1 from Columbia is in Joplin so best of luck to them.

    Modern technology is great. Internet has been down for 4 days. Had to get my techie genius son to get us up and going. Turns out we needed a new modem. Maybe it will work consistently now. Teddi- I agree about picking what you like. Although I could never narrow it down to two breeds, I do want...

    Teddi- I have a brahma that suffers in the heat. We try and run hose water on her when we can and have even put her in the house if we have periods of heat. Not sure why they have that issue, maybe their size.

    Skyrocketing Feed Prices

    With feed prices going up, I am sure I am like everyone else and looking for ways to stretch a dollar. How do you feed your birds? Do you have ways to stretch how far a bag of feed will go? Offer ideas please. I feed layer pellets to my birds along with corn. They also do 4 hours or so an...
