We are moving to an area that doesnt allow chickens. Well I should say the have stupid restrictions on coops ect...
But in the end I had to thin my flock down to 2 chickens. These 2 will be house chickens... one is a banty buff Brahma the other is Old English/Cochin mix. Both small birds about...
This is Happy Feet!
He is a light giant sussex.
He was hatched from eggs from Greenfire Farms http://greenfirefarms.com/store/category/chickens/sussex/
He is 7 months old now and ready for breeding.
Hes a gentle roo who has grown up around children, large dogs, chickens of all sizes & even...
Well Shes kicking, and I do mean kicking!
We gave her the meds (denagard) and the whole flock.
She has lost no weight, just cant get under her feet. they move all the way up to her hips. so Im thinking maybe something with her hips.
No one else is sick (knock on wood) so im thinking its NOT...
Boy you have been busy!
1 Barnevelder??
2 no idea but neat feet!
3 & 4 ;look cochin or cochin mix
the rest are so cute & fuzzy but I have no idea
7 looks cochin mix as well
10 buff cochin would be my guess too
barred rock roo
your mix looks like maybe some game bird in there!
silkie is so hard even breeders will say you dont know till they crow!
the other 2 look like they have sebright in them, but the ones comb isnt right so Id bet maybe a mix.
Where did you get them?
pointy tipped feathers tend to be male
where a more round tipped feather would be female
BUT its not 100% Saddle feathers tho, thats a deal breaker but you have time still before they would show.
These guys all have a Cochin dad.
I think the moms are
Silkie, Cochin x Old English, and Cochin
and I think all but one is a roos too. Silly Hens didnt get the memo that only pullets were to be hatched from now on!
Robin (Silkie mom) extra toes & black skin
Speckles
Nimbus
Creme Brulee
what a hard age!! Its hard to tell, if that mop calms down Id say pullet, but if it keeps rocking its a roo... Can you spread the wings out a bit and get a pic?
