Date sort Score sort
Very pretty, I have "I think a pair" of kelly's ee/silkie mixes and they have the same colors and same eye stare lol.
 
I have a black roo and a black hen and a blue hen and 2 barred hens...They have not started laying yet...i am hopefully going to have eggs but not yet......The are a really sweet bird..i really enjoy them.....as soon as they start laying i will let you know..Kelly has the first dozen....but when they start i will have plenty with four girls...
 
Your roo is pretty, it is kinda colored like a Mille Fleur. Iwas talking about the silkie roo you mentioned, at least I think it was you. I know what you mean about tragedys, when my DH lost his leg in April and I had to spend so much time at the hospital I lost almost everything I had...they (my birds have always been my refuge).

thanks ladybug, I will be looking forward to them. They are really sweet birds for sure. I had a great Brahma roo I lost also. He was so sweet as a chick we went all over our place on my shoulder, I thought for sure it was a pullet so I named him Precious.....had to change it to Mr. Precious, I have 1 of his son's but he doesn't compare to his daddy.

Bitty I am going to come "shopping" at your house. lol I'll help you out.......gotta finish the 2nd coop first though.
 
ladybug at what age do cochins start laying? Or is it a matter of the weather? I have one hen and I watch and check every day. I spend lots of time with my chickens now, never knew they would be so fascinating and comical and soothing. Picked up 3 little stools one for me and each of the kids to be able to sit on to watch the chickens. If my S.N. daughter goes outside, I know where she has gone to. To feed blades of green grass to them. Nice to watch.
 
They lay the usual but mine are not laying i think because of light issues...the went into a molt and have not laid since.....I am hoping they will start soon. I want more of them and i can not hatch any cause they are not laying grhhhhhhhhhhhh

As a side question, what the heck is this crazy screech sound this oegb chick makes? It found its voice and man is it ever weird.
