Where they banty cochins? Higher humidty is great for smaller eggs, like silkies and banties, because they lose too much weight otherwise. Mine are giant cochin eggs from my own flock, and I've hatched lots of them. Even with the low humidity they didn't lose enough weight and the AC are still smallish. That is my concern.

I threw them in with the ducks for funsies. I'm meeting the needs of the duck eggs, first and foremost. Any chicken eggs that survived the journey are just lagniappe.

Ahh! I've never did giant cochins? What's the size difference?

​

These are the size of our cochins.

​

​

Our rooster is smaller than our RIR hen.

I don't know if they are considered Banty, or regular? LOL

I just know they are cochins. hehe

If you have gigantic ones... share a pic?

I love my cochin roo.

Morning everyone.

Broody ended up with 6 chicks. Very protective of them I might add. Going into feed and water and she went for me flying up and hit my hands. Didn't draw blood but sure surprised me. Will be more attentive of that this am. In the mayhem of her trying to get me one of the chicks went under the nesting buckets causing her to fling dust and chicks every where while trying to get the chick out. Here they are

Fifty years is now super old? Man! Am I in trouble! Thanks a bunch for making my day. 

I actually thought of you with your building and ChickenCanoe this morning as I drug myself out of be at 4:25 with admiration. I doubt I will be alive much less as active on projects and new skills.

Hey runt325 they're messing with you! Mostly kwhites634.... He lives in MD which is Maryland,USA.,the continent of North America-on eastern time zone. Isreal is on another continent. Which is Asia. That's why the big difference in time. (Kwhites634- "a few miles from here" is a trucker term! Were you once or still now?

)
He also said he "couldn't hear you" because you accidentally said you weren't being "noisy" (too loud) instead of "nosey". (Butting in someone's business)
These old timers catch on quick and love some dry humor! Try not to step in the BS around here darling.

God bless,
Glory

Again,I wish you much luck ridding your coop of predators.

And to the old timers... No offense....I'm married to one!!!

well

Well I'll just have to be more cautious and move slowly. Going to have to put nipple waters in there for them. She flings dust everywhere including the water that's there making mud.
