I have a one year old partridge Brahma hen that I bought in the late summer last year (1 of 4 from the same place in GA) and all has been well. We recently added two healthy geese (9 months old a month and a half ago). We have 11 chickens in a huge coop and run, as well as the two geese - they...
I have a LF Brahma Roo that is one year old. In November we had a broody hen hatch 3 chicks, two of which were Roos. Our big Roo has been such a good father, taking to the babies right and helping take care of them. Fast forward to yesterday. One of the Roo babies crowed for the first time and...
I have a VERY large Brahma rooster - maybe a solid 8-10 pounds, he’s 9 months old. I’ve been treating him for scaly leg mites for months. We did the Vaseline on legs nightly (any bit of leg scales we could find was slathered in it - even between the feather) for three weeks or better, we cleaned...
We had a broody hen and let her sit some Brahma (roo) and Crested Cream Legbar (hen) eggs to get some green egg layers. Curious to see what they will turn out like. Anyone have some they’d like to share?
I ordered an olive Egger and didn’t get one. We don’t show and we keep what we have (with the exception of too many Roos). I have an Austra white that is seven months and went broody. I’ve had chickens nearly my whole life and can honestly say I’ve never had a FULL sized hen go broody - let...
I’ve been waiting on these girls to finally all be laying, and this girl here will be the only white egg layer. Surprise! They’re tan. She’s a hoot and we love her regardless, but this is not what I expected. Then I got to looking around and none of the California Whites I’ve seen online have...
I have an old hen that we LOVE. She lays jumbo blue eggs and is so healthy, we’d love to have a couple babies from her.
Currently we have a French Black Copper Maran roo that was an oops. He’s gorgeous. But he can’t stay, and she’s never been broody ever. However we have the broodiest little...
The lavender Cochin is 20 weeks - hasn’t crowed, but has watched the other Roos Mount the other pullets. When she/he does it, our dominant rooster doesn’t react. When the other Roos do it, the dominant rooster reacts. The partridge is 19 weeks, and has crowed. Our dominant keeps a close eye on...
We have a ten week old LF Cochin that was sold to us (hatchery) as a pullet. We’ve been told recently that it is a roo. What do you think?
Also for good measure, the Lavender is also supposed to be a pullet which we think she is. But the comb and wattles are the same now as the partridge...
We purchased ten chicks back in March, intending for all to be pullets. But you know how that ends up, two of my babies are Roos. These are all 10 weeks old now.
The difficulty in deciding who to keep and who to rehome is real.This will put us at THREE Roos in a subdivision setting. We already...
We live in Gadsden, AL, and are getting another batch of chicks from a private breeder to replenish our flock. And we are really looking for a Standard Cochin as a pet. I have heard that they are very friendly and loving, and I have been wanting one for quite some time, and as we are...
We are looking for a standard Cochin female. We aren’t too specific on age, just as long as it is socialized and would be comfortable with us. We are located in Gadsden, AL. Anyone know of
Anyone that has something available? We’re picking up chicks soon (layers) and we’re hoping to add a Cochin...
