So I have a question regarding cocks. The largest one and the second largest have lived together for a long time so they don't fight at all pretty much. However when we introduced one of the rooster to the two the large one ran up to it but didn't do much since the newcomer was quick to submit...
So I bought a bunch of teenage chickens and they are La Bresses. I noticed that one of them who's comb had developed partially had a really thick comb so I was curious. At first I though that it might have been cross bred with a bird that has a thick comb at the base near the skull and ignored...
I tried the 2 to 4 recipe but it turned into this soup thing which is similar to a watered down porridge. I saw this video where they showed the entire raising process of these chickens and they showed a part where they fed the milk stuff to the chickens but it looked like a thick porridge. I'm...
I understand that the La Bresse chickens are fed on a diet of milk and maize and wheat but every source that talks about the contents of the feed and the preparation method is different. For example one source I read said to use 2 cups of maize and 4 cups of milk. Another source said not to mix...
I understand that in France the La Bresse chickens are fed a diet that consists of milk and other diary products. Can chickens digest it? can they even make use of the contents of milk? I mean take snakes. There's this time of the year that people in India feed milk to snakes but they can't...
The thing is with this particular hen she is very shy and easily frightened. I mean when we clipped her wings she was very quiet for a while after even though we took care in doing so. I believe the previous owner might have caused this behavior. Maybe she is just in a panic phase? I don't know...
So this evening at about 8 something I noticed that my hen had a drooping tail and wasn't moving much. Her eyelids sometimes remained semi-closed and her comb was a bit pale. I haven't checked her vent to see if it could be egg binding. I doubt it is since she laid an egg at around 11 to midday...
Still out there to get them? I'm not sure if you still live where you do but here's a list of sellers in Florida. Extremely expensive. But hey, at least they are in the states. I personally got mine for 5 euros which is about $5.60.

While hard to find outside France it is still very much possible to find Gauloises to rear if you don't live in France. I personally have 36 of them. We found a seller and this was how he got them: He worked in the livestock industry. he would transport live cattle from Ireland to Abu Dhabi and...
