    Campine Chicken thread?

    THis wasn't my post originally, but these guys are also from your eggs @Wisher1000 This one has some black specks in the white, but the other one has better coloration. They are both lovely boys, and I don't want to get rid of either of them. The first two pictures are the same cockerel (10...

    Lovely. I'm loving my birds. One of the cockerels is clearly better than the other, but they are both beautiful and since they are still getting along with the whole flock, they both get to stay. The girls are delightful. I don't know why everyone doesn't raise Campines.

    Campine Chicken thread?

    Of my 7 pullets (from your eggs), at least 5 are laying regularly and have been for 3 or 4 weeks (they are 26 weeks old this week). It is easy to see which ones are laying by their combs. AT POL, their combs grew and flopped over (like they are supposed to). The eggs are 1.4 - 1.6 oz at this...

    Campine Chicken thread?

    These are my "chicks" from the spring hatch. They are relaxing in my neglected flower garden under the sunflowers. He is the better of the 2 roosters and the little girl beside him hasn't started laying yet (smaller comb than her sisters who ARE laying). They are 24 weeks old and at least 3...

    He looks just like my favorite silver boy. My guy's only problem is that his tail feathers aren't all barred -- Love my campines.

    Handsome boys. These are some of mine. The one is the middle was the only gold in the hatch.

    Campine Chicken thread?

    I have 2 of them in a small coop with an attached run with 7 pullets and a Breda Fowl cockerel. When the 3 boys get going, it is REALLY LOUD. I've decided which cockerel to keep, but no one around here wants a trio of Campines right now. The girls just started laying, and I need to move...

    Campine Chicken thread?

    I wish I could sit down with you and your chickens and see them as you see them. I'll do all of what you suggest and make my decision. How old do they need to be to determine which to keep?

    Campine Chicken thread?

    2 cockerels, 7 pullets (one is the gold). I need to sell a trio, but I can't decide which to keep. Some of the girls are smaller than the others, and I'm not sure from the standard (yes, I bought the book) whether that is a bad thing at this age. I suspect it is. Complicating the fact is...

    Thank you. Just ignore the white (actually splash) Breda Fowl in the middle. She is the only remaining Breda in that hatch (sold the others). They are gorgeous. This picture was taken May 3. They were about 8 weeks old at the time.

    Campine Chicken thread?

    My first Campine was from MPC. She was a wonderful little hen and my first layer at 21 weeks. She laid 5-6 eggs a week for me in her prime and then 4-5 a week as a 4 and 5 year old. I loved that little hen. I have 9, 11 week olds now and I can hardly wait to see them grow up. They flock...

    Campine Chicken thread?

    @Wisher1000 raises silvers with the occasional gold chick. I think she ships. I got eggs from her a couple of months ago, and the chicks (13 silvers and 1 gold from 20 eggs) are beautiful and very hearty. It will be a difficult decision to make on which to keep. Of the other 6 eggs, only 1...

    Campine Chicken thread?

    That is fascinating. The Feathersite has a couple of pictures of chicks that are sexed at hatch, but none of mine fit the patterns exactly, so I decided it didn't really apply. Mine didn't show the chipmunk stripes either (I just went back and looked at their 4 day pictures to be sure). It...

    Campine Chicken thread?

    All 13 of my hatchlings had the leopard spotty pattern.1 gold, 12 silver, 3 cockerels (at 4 weeks the combs make it obvious) and 10 pullets. It is an interesting phenom. Are they old enough now to be sure it held true?

    Campine Chicken thread?

    I somehow thought you would say that. LOL. This afternoon I went out to the hoop to bring them in for the night. It is still too cool to leave them outside in the coop (it got down to 56 in the coop with the heater on last night), and had the cat carrier I use to transport them sitting in...

    Campine Chicken thread?

    I took pictures of my 3 Silver Campine cockerels. @Wisher1000 you were right about it being obvious. I have 3 cockerels and 9 silver pullets and one gold pullet. I am beyond thrilled. Any thoughts on which of these 3 has the most potential? Chick 1 head shot. He is a little bit larger...
