    Good Luck. I'll be excited to see the new year hatches. I am so tempted to do this but being my very first yr.(actually 6 months) in the chicken world I think it's best I just weather this winter out and deal with what I have and learn how to deal with my current flock. As some know, I do...

    Ditto. My buckets/nipples so far have not frozen but I am slightly concerned when and if we do get the constant days that the temp. stays down or closer to freezing all day. I like your idea about having extras made up. Matter of fact, a friend noticed my buckets on a FB pic I posted and...

    Well at this point I would let all 8 go and wait until nxt yr. to get a couple older hens, that I know for sure are hens & are already laying. I would rather have more bantam cochin pullets right now being those are the ones I really want to breed & not just for eating eggs. and..........We...

    Okay, here are some oics. Probably not the best to determine sex of all 8 individually. My toes & fingers are still thawing out and it was impossible with me by myself trying to take individuals of each. Hope this helps some. Also, included a somee pics of the two bantam cockerals I need to...

    haha - I know too well about those angel vs. devils! I'm going to the bantam show in Dalton the saturday after Thanksgiving with the intention of finding a couple or so SQ bantam cochin pullets/hens but I know I'll be eyeing all the other breeds. Should be a good showdown but the angel has one...

    Well come on, you know you want them! LOL but thanks for the indorsement. What you said about them is exactly why I wanted a couple to add in with our laying hens. I wish I could keep all but after building 4 LARGE coops/pens since June the hubbie says no more and I'm trying to stay focused...

    Throwing this out there for any close to me. I have some black AUSTRALORPS for sale. They are eight weeks old. I bought eggs to hatch with the intention of just wanting a couple hens. I ended up with 8. To be honest I still can not really tell which are girls or boys but will take a guess at...

Not looking to show, just want to check out what may be for...

    I really like the roo eating. As for the other, he is rather different, in a weird way but don't want to jump to judgement with only a couple of pics . I do love the two girls with brown (mille or calico maybe), they look to have pretty good type (but I'm by far any kind of expert). You...
