Cochin Thread!!!

our cochin koyuki is getting so big and fluffy we've started calling her "the chunk"

I think I have the only chickens in the world that don't like pumpkins! Not the seeds . . . not the meat. I even bought some scratch mix once that had pumpkin seeds in it - they devoured everything except the pumpkin seeds.

But don't get between them and kale - they LOVE it!!!

Do you give access to grit when they have sunflower seeds? I have never had combs freeze until 0 or below.

Yes, I always have a bowl or pile of it near their feeders. I use hot peppers too for worming. Yogurt, warm oatmeal.....
My neighbor laughs at how I spoil my birds, says "They won't be worth killin"

I guess I'm just nervous and don't want any frostbite on my boys, I think they like being pampered too! They get the spa treatment
