2 New Black Cochin Cockerels..... Meet Butler & Big Sam

[lockedhearts]

MY venture into Standard Cochins began with the purchase of Rhett & Scarlett. Little did I know how much I would fall in love with this breed, or that I would develop a wonderful friendship with the sellers.

DH & I were at a Tractor Show in Carrollton last April with my parents, as usual we walked over to see the chickens (A local poultry club sets up there every year)
Rhett was a Big Black Gentle Giant and I hatched several babies from him and Scarlett.
I ended up going back to Beth & Jerry and buying another Hen, A Splash named Tara, I also kept one of the chicks from Rhett & Scarlett, her name is Darla. I also got a Splash Cockerel, named Stoney.

Sadly, Rhett passed away, from an apparent Heart Attack, on Christmas Day. I miss him terribly.
I contacted Beth with the sad news, she said she had several Black Cockerels I could chose from. Robin (Pumpkinpup) and her DH and I drove down to Beth's last week and I brought home these 2 big fluffy loveable guys.

Please refrain from showing pics of such lovely birds...otherwise, I may be too weak to refrain from buying any/all eggs you have for infinity!

Thanks! They are both very sweet boys! They will never replace my beloved Rhett, but they fit in nicely in the group. Once my Blue and Splash girls get a little older, I will be seperating everyone into breeding groups.
