I had gotten 3 silkie cross chicks at a buy,sell,trade thing on Saturday. 1 was def a little cockerel and another one prob was too. So, today I was in touch with a family friend who breeds Cochins. She took my 3 chicks, and traded me 2 buff cochin girls! They are 6 months old. I don't wanna brag or anything......but now I have 3 laying girls! Here are my 2 new cochins, and my newly laying australorp.

Oh yeah!! So the buff girls kept right on laying when they came to you, right? And don't cochins make good broodies?

Yes, good broodies, and the woman I got them from will give me eggs if I wanna let them hatch. I could get blue, mottled or frizzled cochin eggs! Super egg-cited.
 
sorry for the big multi-quote, I was a bit behind...

They really do! Your favs are beautiful (my husband calls them "Salmon Crusted Faverolles." I don't know why, lol. I guess it's a foodie thing).

I wanted favs, I had them in my shopping cart for my last MPC order. And then, and then, I went to the state fair and saw a couple of favs. They were enormous birds. And there was this tiny little egg in the cage with one of them. I couldn't believe how little they were! So I changed my order to get an EE and a Blue Favaucana. Cuz I wanted a smaller chicken with bigger eggs, lol.

But they are so cute. And their personalities seem awesome. SO I think next spring I might wind up getting a couple....

I love MPC, they're great! I never got eggs from them (yet) but I'm sure next spring I will be getting a 'bater and some little bitty Serama eggs. Chicken math strikes again...
:D

I'd like to have some SFs also, but my real wish is for cream legbars.
I do have seramas... mine lay lots of eggs ;)

Hey, I tried..... At least I got half of my face. I was trying to get a head to toe thing, but my arm wasn't long enough.

Oh gee so glad you shared that.
Just the other day I was cleaning out the poop trays and thinking "I didn't think I wold ever be cleaning up chicken poop" and then I started to examine it closely and thought " i didn't think I'd ever be examining chicken poop" and then I went into the patio and took off my shoes and I thought "I didn't think I would ever own a pair of designated chicken shoes"

Here's good story for you. My son and his wife and our only grand daughter bought a their first new home and and were moving in this weekend. We went on Sunday to give them a hand and see their new house. Now my daughter in laws parents were there too and they are both psychiatrist and live in Chicago. I swear they both pull out the same little notebook and make notes every time they are around me. So me and Dr. Dad were talking and I mentioned some new pictures I saw he had posted on Facebook. Oh yes they had been in Germany and Nepal and some other places I had never heard of and he just went on and on about their vacation and the amazing things they had seen. After he finished he ask so what's new with you. I proudly said " we got 3 eggs this morning" Out came those notebooks.

My dog steals my beer, but so far my smokes have been safe around the birds. :D
