Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

gotcha! a lot of people keep the bantams here, more so than the standards like I have, but I decided I wanted open runs with heavy birds that will stick around.
Plus I always had banty so I wanted to switch it up at the new house!

Stick around, god the little buggers dont die easily or something like that do they??

Just got home from vacation... GOSH THE CHICKS HAVE GROWN! But I think they are all roosters... The one in the far left corner with the black tuft on his head is Elvis, the one next to him is Cola, the golden one on the end of the back row (my fav) is Mighty RedWood, the other golden one is Pharaoh, and the one to the left of him is Brewster

I'm guessing that if they are all Roos, I should separate them soon? Gonna be hard to find 5 different people that want roosters.... Does Elvis look like a roo? He is smaller than the rest and so are his combs and wattles. I'm pretty sure he is a silkie/FCM mix? I think the other 2 black ones are FCM, and the 2 gold ones are Ameracauna... Would it be ok to move them out with my hens for a while before I find them homes? /:

elvis looks like a polish mix and I would say roo : (
ameracauna should have pea comb not straight comb, and now I cant enlarge the photo in edit! LOL

Quote: No I meant I could have a huge run since its open topped. small birds will fly over the 4 and 5 foot fences, mine don't.

no but my dad says I should do chukars to take to the field to train the dogs before I sell them, like that's gonna happen!

I never named one of my LF black cochin hens. She's at least 3 years old and she's a beauty. Anyways, every time I go down to the coop, I look at her and start thinking, "Whoa Black Betty Bam-A-Lam"

So I may have to steal the name.
