*CLOSED* Best Chicken Contest

[Wild Claws]

hello
loads of people say pekin are bad layers but I would disagree. I used to get eggs everyday (until they became broody ) and they're super tasty and have a big yolk I think they get their bad reputation because they are broody often
my ones aren't flighty, the 'flightiest' is nemo and the highest she can fly is like 5 feet. and she doesn't fly that high normally.



thank you! I don't mind at all

That's great news about the eggs.

I have Cochin Bantams which is just a different name. Mine lay almost everyday and all of mine have gone broody at least once. Since they are heavier they tend to not be flighty. Mine have to fly up to their bar and they seem to do well with that, but when they run from me, they waddle.

I had no idea! Well we have alot of Cochins here. So if I get a Cochin male and female and hatch there chicks, then I can sell half of them as Cochin and half as Pekin?????
