Honestly, when I skinned them out, they reminded me BIG TIME of rabbits...which is dandy by me. That's why I updated my ad to take banties - love me some faux rabbit meat LOL!

Two days in and they're ALREADY looking bigger/fatter. Poor skinny things.

funny you say that.
I have 2 Cobb (same as cornishx i think) hens left and a frizzles silkie roo has been doing the deed.
One of my bantys is sitting on the eggs,so we will see how the look in 3 wks.
Ill be sure to post pics. The roo looks like something out of a dr suess nightmare,crossed with a feather duster,lol.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SOOO LONG!!! You are my new friend . . . welcome to !@#$

That's hysterical!

Small change of plan: I've put the biggest rooster with two of my hens and I'm going to be taking their eggs and incubating them since these storms are scary scary. I figure at worst I have some ugly mutts to dispatch later and at best if I end up completely cut off, I'm good for food (as the ducks are 3 weeks away and a new batch of ducks 18 days from hatching)....

Luckily it's so bad that nobody has even noticed the crowing rooster....
