I've had this website in my favorites for the index of chicken breeds long before to moving to Nebraska, which was the begining of May. We brought our house almost a year prior to our move from Illinois.
After our first week we bought 2 banty chicks, as experiments. This is the first time myself and my long term bf have every had chicks in our lives.
While at the farm store a week later, the cashier commented that they'll be getting their last batch of chicken chicks for the season in a few days, so of coarse that made us show up that day to get a few more. We bought 8 .. 4 pullets, and 4 banties .. because of colors. lol
We lost one banty after a couple weeks.
So on hand we have 1 Barred Rock, 1 white Californian, 2 Easter Eggers, 1 pullet Cochin banty, 1 roo Cochin banty, and the other 3 banty roos I have no idea what they are .. but 2 a really beautiful birds.
Rock, Cali, Marilyn & Manson, Red & Black our first 2 banties, Boy George, Slash & Freddy (Mercury)
Out of all 4 roos, Slash is he only one who doesn't get along with the other boys.
If anyone knows what breed of rooster makes a popping sound for clucks, let me know. We'd really like to have some idea of what Slash is. He's very unique. His feathers are white with a thick line of black edged around it. Even on the tail. He looks more white than black. His legs are kinda blueish. And his comb is a double? From the front two seperate combs, but formed into one in the back and to a point aiming behind him.
It's already been decided that next year we'll get a few more pullets. Not sure of the breed(s) yet.
My bf said I can get a turkey
.. And he think having a duck would be a good idea too. I did tell him a duck needs at least another duck friend, so for now it's now a couple of ducks. lol
We're really enjoying having our chickens. Never interacted with a chicken before, so neither of us knew the personalities we were missing! .. We're chicken hooked!
