I have a cockerel that does the same thing. He can walk and run, but he seems to prefer to hop, like a feathered kangaroo! He's never been stepped on of anything to my knowledge and seems to get along just fine with everyone else!

I didn't think of Cochin. What about the black one in the middle? Looks like an Australorp to me. Black shanks.

If you upload some individual pics, we can help identify. They white guy with black spots in the the bottom pic looks like a CA White and the buff colored chick in the middle looks like a Buff Orpington to me. Does she have feathered legs? If so, it's not a BO but maybe a Buff Brahma? Anyone...

Hey, Faraday! I am also a teacher, although I teach 9th grade English. Lucky that you get to hatch with your class!!! What's your gig? I brought in my incubator and brooder setup for my biology teacher friend this year and she hatched chicks. It was phenomenal to see how excited the kids were...

Love your puppy! I want an LGD sooooo badly. How are you training him? Any tips??? As for hatching my own eggs- YES! Lots and lots. I keep EEs, Australorps, and Icelandics. I am completely addicted to hatching, which has "inspired" me into building hoop houses, brooders, and now we are working...

It's funny you have a bantam with an alternative name for her broody times. Our Icelandic hen has a good, traditional Icelandic name- Harpa- but when she went broody, my DH started calling her "The Toad" because she looked so much like a fat amphibian all spread out in the nest box... I kept...

One last call- anyone interested in free Basque roosters before I let my husband send them to freezer camp? We are located near Peoria. PM if you are interested.

Hey, we are neighbors! I'm also in Hanna City. I live on Smithville Rd. Where are you?

Where are you located? I have an EE that needs a home. Check out the post above. Perfect ages!!!

Free to good home- we had a single Easter Egger chick hatch today. I had a couple eggs under a broody hen, but I decided to put 9 new chicks under her a week ago and took her two eggs. Those eggs went in the incubator and only one hatched this afternoon. I am looking for a home with a broody hen...

Anyone interested in free EE chicks? We hatched them at the high school in Peoria Heights. I sold some, but there are 7 still looking for homes. I would rather they be free to my fellow chicken people than anyone on CL! They are almost a week old and all (of course) cute as a button. PM if you...

Anyone want free Marraduna Basque (Euskal Oiloa) cockerels? Out of 7 eggs I managed to hatch 6 boys. Hoping someone would like them. If not, they will go to freezer camp eventually. They are 8 weeks old, SUPER friendly. If you are looking for a friendly rooster, these are the guys for you. They...

I think Hetta must be the progeny of that hen. She frequently lays "torpeggos." Long, skinny, and chalk white. I set a couple in the incubator and they hatched just fine, though! And they also taste great!

That is AWESOME! Love my EE ladies! Think you should rename her "Sarah" as in Sarah, Abraham, and Isaac- LOL!

Thanks for the heads up, but I got my feed stores mixed up. They actually are from Townline. Big R in Pekin orders from Mt. Healthy, not TSC.

Deal Alert!!! Hi, Illinoisans! I'm in Hanna City. I was at the Pekin TSC tonight and they had end of season chicks on clearance. They were .75 if you bought the whole bin or 1.00 each. They had a whole bunch of bantams of various ages. Their birds come from Mt. Heathy, so check their site out...
