We talked about them before. Though it was over a year ago or maybe 2. Their ABA bands, which I see no reason to remove, are '07. I got the CLB Hens from Robert W of Union Grove, NC the Summer of '08. He kept them in small cages in a dark barn. It was the way he did things, but the birds did not do well there. I bought them and brought them to my world of feathers. It took a couple weeks for them to figure out what that dirt floor was. Then several more months for them to calm down and start taming up. They have been freerange birds since and will not tolerate a cage.
TwoTwo is not the best quality, but Amber is what I would call show quality. She has 2 grown daughters running around and 3 of the 7 chicks are from her, but I forgot to mark at hatch and lost track of all but 1. I breed her to my BCLB Roo and know the BCLB chick with one of the cochin broodies is definately from her. These pictures are from 11 days old. Lacy, Birchen Cochin, has 5 dutch and 2 other chicks not pictured. Pockets has 2 dutch and 2 others. The chicks are 3 BCLB and 4 CLB.
