Well, no false alarm this time. I have a broody hen sitting on 5 Nankin eggs. The should hatch just in time to maybe have some real feathers before the cold weather sets in. I don't mind her sitting, but if she'd asked for my advice I'd have told her to wait till the first of February.... lol.

That is awesome! Glad to hear it. I contacted both the local FFA and 4H chapters and was told, with a sneer no less, that neither had EVER heard of showing CHICKENS. So I'm STILL trying to figure out what to do with my army of roos...

I think I have a broody Nankin! Or at least I think SHE thinks that she's broody.

Oh yeah, almost forgot! I have EGGS!

I currently am counting 9 pullets, all S/C I think, 6 R/C cockerels, and 9 S/C cockerels, I need to do some thinning on the boys side

Who's the Breeder? I would love a few more single comb hens. In an unrelated matter, anybody need 6 R/C roos? I just don't like the way they look that much, and I don't think any of my pullets ended up being R/C anyhow/

Now they are IN the coop and have even MORE room and food. They just *DON'T* like tail feathers..... I love how they they can wield that look of righteous indignation at will

The children: Out in the growing pen I used while I finished up getting the coop ready. When they sya these birds fly well they aren't kidding, those fences were more of a "suggested" territorial boundary after 4 days. They aren't much fans of cameras. Yes, I have an epidemic of...

I have sickle feathers, enlarged combs/wattles and crower/croakers! OMG! I'm so excited!

Alas. I have discoveted one of my roos that will probably be a definate cull. He has several feathets around the back of his neck with dark patches, almost a lacing pattern. It's only about 3 feathers but it is PROMINANT, ah well, thete's at least 4 more confirmed roos to pick from :P lol

Hey guys, I have a question. Does anyone use numbered legbands, and where do you order them? I really like the ABA bands except the part where they have the year stamped on them. I'm still not positive of everyone's gender and I don't want a bunch of xtra bands of the wrong size that I can't use...

Gonna try to remember to take some pics of my 6 weekers tomorrow to share. They are starting to LOOK like Nankins! lol

Sorry for the "nothing" post, need to bring this one back up on my page.

Hoo RAYYYYYYYYYY!

And while the eggs are sitting under the hens I will be playing music with subliminal messages, training the chicks to one day respond to electromagnetic signals broadcast via the cell phone networ to rise UP! And THEN... oh, wait. I mean um. LOOK! OVER THERE! *runs away*

Well Thanks to Mary Ann, I have enough chicks to starve myself keeping them fed ;) lol. I just know that with my luck of the 32 I ended up with (paid for 25, don't know why she threw in the spares, I appreciate it though ) I'm assuming at least 20 are roos I'm already plying the feild of the...

As am I! They just need to grow up! lol. Grats on yours

And he looks absolutely THRILLED over his bath, lmao!

Micki, Mine did indeed come from Mary Ann, once I have these grown out and picked my breeders, I plan to look for another bloodline, but for now I have all the chicken I keep fed, lol.

Oh, about what age should I start being able to tell my RC from my SC? I'm starting to seem slight differences in combs NOW, but at this point that all it is: is differences. I can't tell yet which lumps and bumps are going to become what, lol.
