I have 4 silkie x cochin bantam mutts. these girls are so broody, the will hatch anything that lies still for long enough. I took Hester's last hatchlings away from her 3 weeks ago. She snapped out of the momma thing real quickly, but it's 3 weeks later and she's sitting on the nest again! Her...

ok, will do.

I don't know what section to post this and I'm freaking out too much to give it too much thought... She is a bantam cochin approx 5 or six months old. I had to give her de-worming meds, so I held her under my arm and opened her beak to push the pill down her throught. She started to struggle so...

I currently have a young cochin bantam Norman (7 months plus) who is so docile he plays with my 3 year old. He doesn't fight with any of the other roosters either. My previous cochin bantam Rooster Eltorro was a different story. He attacked my mother so much she gave him to me. When I had him...

The Hoomin was out of town, and so the chickens of the property decided that this was their chance to get all those 'list of things to do' lists out. The hoomin called the caretaker and the conversation that ensued was somewhat ridiculous: hoomin: “how are the chickens” caretaker: “fine, but...

If you have the honour of stepping out into your backyard and gazing upon you lovely Delaware, then count yourself lucky. I wanted a big roo. I wanted a FINE roo. I wanted a Delaware. Then I was informed that Delaware chickens can not be found in South Africa. I am gutted! Now, I brows online...
