Cream Brabanter

I just goggled them, those are about the cutest birds I have ever seen. How have I not seen them before?

I'll take that brabanter. They are on my list of wants!

This a a little off topic. But i swear that i saw one of my hens doing the backstroke and getting some exercise in the six inches of water in my yard this morning. Lol
Maybe is was one of my geese. They are loving this weather.

Holy crap that was a lot of rain! Good thing the run is on a slope so all the water goes away from the coop!

We have had five or six inches of rain this week, I left my wheelbarrow out and it is half full!! Yikes! Love the rain though!

His hatchmate, but she a few weeks later! Tess.


My year old Calico, Teddy, from Shylee.


Last years Cockeral that I kept, Tristan.

They are beautiful. I especially like Teddy. The one I kept from you is cute. I thought she would turn mottled but so far she is still completely black. We originally named her freckles but it doesn't really fit now so we're trying to come up with something else.

I'll switch to my phone and post a pic

Update on the chickens (eggs) we got from CO BYC members:

Here is our little cochin from Suncatcher's eggs.


And here is a rooster from her eggs. His name is Dinner. He has neat coloring but he has wry tail and most importantly is mean to the girls! Which is why he is in the grow out cage. (don't worry, he doesn't use that waterer)



The rooster we are keeping from her eggs, our BCM, Carter



The silkies we kept from Pozees eggs:
Our roo, King (as in Don King)


And pullet, Crystal


And a really bad pic of our CCL chicks from Ashdoes, Elvis and Eva. They wouldn't cooperate for pics today.



btw, I saw this post on Craigslist today. They say they have cochins. No pics or details so I'm not sure of quality, but thought I'd share in case anyone is interested

Here's my little boy Fabio. I do plan on having eggs for the hatchaholics next year. I also have 2 golden brabanter pullets but no roo.
