Jumping in here to ask about my little black bantam Cochin - supposed to be a frizzle but she is so much smaller than the other ones that we got at the same time, and her feathers are weird. She's active and seems healthy, just looks odd. Any ideas?

Well, they are laying now, though not as much as expected. The weather is even hotter now than it was when I first posted this.

I'm interested as my Wyandottes (2 years old) haven't laid in over a week now. It's late spring/early summer here in Texas so they should be laying prolifically. One of them didn't molt last fall and it looks like she might be starting to molt now (weird) but the other did molt in the fall...

Ichiro needs a new home! He is absolutely gorgeous, but I really don't want any roosters. Anyone in the DFW/North TX area interested in this 12-week-old fellow?

Cynthia12, your girl looks a lot like my new pullet, gold and blue. I think that combination is gorgeous.

I was given these two chicks, told they were Leghorns, born about April 18. They're both terrified when I reach into their brooder pen. So, from the pictures, do you think they're both Leghorns (one seems to have a rose comb maybe). I'm pretty sure the single comb one is a cockerel, as someone...

I'd say she's cute! (and a Cochin)

Now one of them is crowing every morning! I suspect Daisy, who will be called Davy from now on.

I'm not the expert that junebuggena is, but they look like cockerels even to me. Sorry; I feel your disappointment.

Thanks. I was wondering if the different combs and different rates of feathering meant different genders, if they're both Leghorns, but I guess not. I hope my two-year-old hens will accept them into their flock.

Freeze-dried grasshoppers today; they went crazy!

I was given these two babies when they were 5 days old. They were born April 19, and I was told they're Leghorns. Their combs are not developing the same, so does anyone know if they're different genders? Blanche also is more feathered already and has more tail.

I had a Dom but she died unexpectedly last month. She was the sweetest of all my hens.

Romeo is gorgeous! I just got my first Marans (cuckoos) and am enjoying getting to know them.

Thank you for that. I'll just have to see how it does with keeping a rooster. They're just so stinkin' cute!

This is my first time with bantams, so I'm learning. We got the three bantam Cochin chicks at the same time as three Marans and two EEs, and they're all getting along fine at the moment. So if they continue to get along, I can keep Ichiro with Chibiko and the five regular gals so he won't mate...

Oh, I'll dropkick that sucker to China if he mates little Chibiko bald! Maybe I can find more banty hens for him. The Cochins were all that was available locally. Do bantam roosters ever mate with regular-size hens? So far the regular pullets just look at these silly little cocks like "Don't...

Well, the top two are definitely roos. They're both crowing already. And they're sooo cute! The bottom one is a little pullet, thank goodness. I think I'll keep non-frizzle roo Ichiro and I've found a home for frizzle roo Chibi. Mr. Ichiro FluffyFoot. I I'll keep him unless he turns mean...

Thank you! They were sold as pullets, but one never knows with feed store chicks.
