***Bantam Cochin Show and Tell***

[CrazyCochin]

One BC color I would like would either be Patridge or a mottled!
Does anyone have a favorite color?

 

[CrazyCochin]

Red was helping clean the pumpkin mess!

Here is Red, look at all those shiny feathers!

OH MY GOSH, they are all amazing!
Zapraska and Marshmallow look like they are the king and queen!
Beautiful photo!

I love the picture with the rooster, they look like such a happy family and they know it!

Thank you!
It's kind of funny -- the babies hatched back at the beginning of July, but they still follow Marshmallow around and come when she calls.

What is he? Zapraska, sorry if I misspelled.

They look a little small, even for bantams, are they young in that photo?

They weren't fully grown yet, no.

I like my big roosters!
Bantam chickens are really cute though!

Very cute! Tiny and fluffy and sweet -- but Marshmallow can flutter so well that she once roosted in a tree and freaked me out thinking that she'd been taken.

I'm glad that you both liked the pictures!

Oh yes, they are beautiful!
Thank you for them!
None of our chooks perch in trees, none really actually fly, on occasion one will fly the fence, but when that happens, we cut their flight feathers, well usually.

I just thought of something...
General Zapraska, highest general of the OEGB troops.

What is he? Zapraska, sorry if I misspelled.

He's an OEGB, I believe -- Old English Game Bantam.
He also seems to be immortal. I've lost... six roosters over the course of two years, now, yet Zapraska -- who was one of the original roosters -- remains untouched.
He's also really mellow once you catch him -- I can just hold him on his back on my palm and he'll sit there. Or with his keel resting on my palm. He's weird, but I love him.
