So I’ve been thinking about getting goats. I show chickens through 4-H and I want to try something new and I’ve settled on goats. I want to get a Pygmy pair and breed them so I can exibit and sell the babies in my local fair.
I want to try something like this house but put a full plywood back on...
I have a quick question about eye color, most of my Cochins have a normal yellow outline and a black center. My favored pullet to keep for breeding has a really pretty dark outline so her eyes almost look black throughout. Is this a good or bad feature on her or does it not really matter? I’ve...
Thank you, are there any other benefits of crossing them that you can think of? I have a lot of roosters right now and it’ll be a headache removing them.
Hey guys! I just grabbed some chicks from a woman on facebook and I realized a little to late the light Brahma I grabbed was a cockerel. I have a 14 week old dark Brahma pullet and I’m wondering what would happen if I crossed them? I saw a post and from what I gathered the mixes auto-sex...
16 week update we were not in a posing mood today so the pictures aren’t very good. My cockerels are growing there fluff very well and I still like Einstein as my top cockerel. My pullets are still growing out but I like ferbreze as my top pullet. If anyone who sees this wouldn’t mind pointing...
Thanks! How’s the cockerel looking? I’ve been cross referencing pictures and I’m thinking he’s the best bird I have
I got my hands on some blue Cochins as well but I’m not sure if they are bantam or standard I’ll probably take the chicks home today so I’ll post pictures then.
Adorable babies!
I help an elementary school near me hatch chicks. The woman who donated the eggs told me that there are some pure breed Cochins in the batch of eggs and if I wanted them I could take them. Do you know if this is a blue or a black Cochin? I’m only gonna bring it home if it’s a...
12 week update. I didn’t get a picture of Cody topper and squatty sense I’ve decided they are culls. I’ve given up on telling apart the girls so they’ll just be numbered 😅

I had a nasty BSL link cockerel would attack everyone in my family flew at faces at attacked legs it got so bad to a point where I was the only one who would go out to take care of them. I have three horror stories with him.
1. I had a hen with a canker sore that I needed to look at and she was...
So I have about 30 chicks right now give or take a few I have to count them again. The youngest are 2 weeks to 4 weeks to 8 weeks to 10 weeks. After predators wiped out my entire flock I fell victim to chicken math. So I have a two cream legbars and two hampbars all two weeks then I have about...
