I don't care much about my leghorn hens being skittish and the Roose being nervous wreck, because I want them to perform their duties, that is to lay eggs and mate. The cockerels are a different story, they give me hard time when I caponize them and the capons are only slightly plump than their...

You mean these birds???

Thank you so much, these abbreviations always get me off-guard. I wonder why people got so lazy?

That's why I keep my boys indoor. The Aseels make great pets and are not mean to people. I keep a group of females (8 of them) with rest of the flock and they all are high in the pecking order. Even my mean RIR Rooster leaves them alone after he got a good "disciplining action" from them for...

Now please someone do me a favour and tell me what is a 'SF'?

:eek::lau:gig You sure sound like a fun guy to have around. Love you a bunch.:goodpost:

Thank you so much. Never heard of this breed before. Sounds like a great breed. But unfortunately there is a greater demand for brown eggs in India. Anyway given their status I doubt I will find them here. However even if I find them I doubt I will be able to keep them. I already have a lot many...

I have I have a lots of barnyard mutts, they tend to be more broody than the standard breeds. But that can be only me. Btw what is a BH?

Honestly you are expecting too much from a chicken. Just saying

Oh thank you so much. Sometimes I can't get around all this abbreviations.

Of the three Asian (game birds you mentioned) I only have experience with Aseels. I can say from my experience that they like to hang around people, you can hold and pet them all you want. They have great personality and they make wonderful pets, hens are the best mothers in the chicken world...

I would call their built 'compact' and Aseels are not particularly sparsely feathered either.

I don't like them either. But what is BSL???

You are kind to tolerate her behaviour. I would have made a tasty tandoori chicken from her long ago.

Wonder what maybe wrong with Barred Rocks??? :hmm They are fine utility bird and the cockerels are easy to caponize and they make good capons.

Make sure to put the chicks under an athletic hen and also let her own chicks with her. Put the adoptive chicks on the hatch day.

True that, they sometimes freak me out. The bald patches look awful. That being said, they are really sweet birds. A lady had a pet CX hen. The lady said that she was a sweetheart she lived for more than 3 years. Layed huge eggs.

I dislike all crested birds, silkie and polish. I think they are highly overrated. They are poor layers, they have little meat and in my experience they are pushovers who don't stand their ground. I also dislike commercial hybrids, they are not hardy and they are destroying the heritage breeds...
