    Going to wander down to the coop with these pictures thanks :) edit to add... I took the tablet down, did a bit of wrangling and managed to get the 4 chanteclers locked out in the run without the others. I tried getting some picture but most were pretty blurry so I took a video instead. I'll...

    Can someone post a couple nice cockerel pictures for me? I'm pretty sure I know which one I want to keep out of the pair that I have but I just want to double check. One is kinda growly, he's never done anything but I just get a bad vibe/energy off him.

    Hmmm... Please share! All this flapping and scratching tells me I am doing something, er...not right lol. Sometimes I can wrap my hands (still meet both) around the whole chicken keeping their wings folded up. Other times well as I said lol not so good! Plus they're getting bigger....

    Hopefully I can say this with out over stepping my bounds as a newbie.... Everyone learns things in different ways. Some taluckyore out of learning theory and others take more out of learning by experimentation. Before Mendel gave us an understandings of genetics, we were already able to create...

    It's really cool that you mentioned using a mirror to look at your artwork when you can't "see" it anymore! I do that with my paintings!

    We get periods of -30'c to -40'c in the winter with wind chills that make it even uglier. We run a portage and main wood boiler system for heat in our house and garage so the plan was to run a loop of heated pipe through the coop too. I'm still figuring things out right now but I figured we'd...

    I'd like to eventually keep all 3 varieties of chantecler. I'm starting with partridge and I don't know if I'll ever get to the point where I'll have show quality birds but that's OK. I wanted to keep a heritage breed that would be a good dual purpose bird for our family and stand a chance at...

    Nothing like learning to swim by jumping in the deep tank but.... Could the red colour ever breed true? Is it due in part or in whole to genes that are incompletely dominant like blue? Or just so many hiding recessive genes that it would be exeptionaly difficult to eliminate them all... ...

    I think the reds are a cross between buff and partridge, I think(?) The partridge and whites are the only recognized colors, but there are people trying to get the buffs recognized and there are other people working on project colors like reds and more. ... I'm as new as my chicks when it comes...
