    Faverolles Thread

    I tried my hand at chicken portraits today I'm no artist but I love my Faverolles so much I wanted to immortalize them (and incase anyone asks: the wooden chickens are Ostheimer toys, except for the little Fav cockerel which was a special order from an Etsy shop)

    Self-Blue Cochin Bantams

    Quote: yes, they are both pullets. Cochins in general are pretty slow to develop. Large Fowl even more so. Where did you get these pullets? Just curious. They appear to have good color, although a bit leggy, and the one appears to be a little stiff in the hock feathers. Something to...

    Self-Blue Cochin Bantams

    Here are my girls (I think) at 3 months old - not the greatest of pics I know LOL They are my absolute favorites among my chickens, however they are soo small still, nowhere near the size of the adult bantams I've seen. Is it normal for this breed to take a long time to mature? They still...

    How old before chicken coop ?

    Mine have just gone in this week at 7 weeks old. 5 of them have joined the big girls and rooster without any upset at all. I have put 4 in a dog cage in the run because 2 of them are bantam Cochins and I want them to grow bigger before meeting the grown-ups. I left 2 "friends" with the...

    Mutt Thread

    I have quite a few Mutts Big Bertha - no idea what she is as I bought her from a market. I suspect there is Cochin in there though. Little Bertha 7 weeks old (daughter of above, black copper Maran father) In the foreground is what I think is a leghorn X. She used to lay pure white eggs...

    Post Pics of your Leghorns

    I've got a bantam brown Leghorn hen. She is sweet but flighty, and is difficult to photograph here she is again with another bird that I think is a bantam white Leghorn X (I call her the henaroo because she was an egg-laying hen, but now thinks and acts like a roo!) this is one of the...

    What are YOUR favorite chicken hybrids!?

    I've got a sweet faverolle bantam rooster and often wonder what the offspring would be like if I put him to a bantam cochin hen? My cochins are still chicks though so I don't know if I'll try that or not yet, but I think they would be very cute. I do have a couple of leghorn X maran chicks at...

    Self-Blue Cochin Bantams

    Quote: Don't shoot me but I bought them on impulse from a garden center as week old chicks. They were labeled as being Porcelaine, which I took to be lavender. The shop had a pair of lavender adults and I think the shop have been incubating and hatching out eggs. (They also had Polish...

    Here are my two lavender (I think) bantam Cochin babies they are roughly 6 weeks old. Any thoughts on whether they are hens or roos? One is slightly bigger than the other.
