That is a great idea. 4H often brings enthusiastic buyers that want to support the kids

Just curious if your daughter can show them at the fair & then to try sell them there. (If they place they could fetch a decent price.

That’s our plan at the moment but fair is not until the end of July. So if they find homes before then that’s good but if not she shows and sells them
They are just living in a nice bachelor pad in our unfinished basement since our town doesn’t allow for roosters been fun listening to them crowing!

Hoo, boy, I'd be tempted by those Cochin boys if I wasn't already up to my eyeballs in roosters as is! Good luck finding them homes!

P.S. Your Blue Cochin boy is either the wrong breed or a mix--Cochins should have single combs like that Frizzle fella, not a rose comb like what Mr. Blue has.

I wondered about the blue’s rose comb! We ordered him as a bantam blue Cochin at the local hatchery. He’s probably a mix, I’m not sure what other type would be so close to a Cochin. He is a pretty bird though and will be great for someone’s little flock
Kinda frustrating since she wanted to show him that he won’t meet standards. Thank you for your insight! We call him “ToTaDoo” lol!

No problem at all! He definitely is a cute little guy! Truth be told, I go for the oddball types with my birds, so he'd be more of a temptation to me than the more-to-standard frizzle guy even with that rose comb. You know, if I didn't already have 11 adult roosters and what's looking to be 8 cockerels that I'm going to have to figure out what to do with.

I don't know whether to respond with or at this right now because it's way too true!

 

[jcgmorgan]

Truth! As I stare out the back window watching the rain drizzle on flats of flowers and veggies that haven’t made it to the garden yet, lol!

Been really depressed the last 2 days! I brought home a 5 year old Border Collie Male named Toby on the 25th. We drove 1 hour 30 minutes to pick him up. We didn't get home till midnight that day. Right as we got off the highway and pulled into the gas station down the street from our house, the front driver side tire on my sisters van was flat! We had to air it up quickly and rush home. We live about 2 minutes from the gas station. By the time we got home the tire was flat again. My sister had to be at work at 4am that morning too.
My husband thought he would be helpful and put Toby on a chain to use to bathroom so I didn't have too when I woke up to take my sister to work at 3am. (No we do not keep our dogs on chains, we just didn't want Toby jumping our 4ft temp. fence.) Well the moment my husband walked him outside on the leash to go to the chain, Toby slipped off his collar jumped our 4ft fence and took off. We searched everywhere in the neighborhood for him. It was dark outside, where we live, there is no street lights. Toby is mainly Black and hard to see in the dark. He doesn't have a full white collar like traditional Border Collies. Toby is terrified of any and all noises too. I've been going door to door the past 2 days giving out my information and information on Toby.
The previous owners never had him Microchipped and he isn't wearing a collar now. SO he looks just like a stray! We live right next to two very busy roads too! We just had a crazy storm today with heavy hail, all I can think about is how terrified Toby is right now. All the thunder and lighting scaring him. Only one lady said she saw him at 4 am and tried to catch him but he took off towards the busy road.
I spent all afternoon calling Animal SHelters to report Toby missing.

View attachment 1789166 View attachment 1789167 View attachment 1789168 Hello! Our family is newer to this site. My daughter decided to get into 4H Exhibition poultry this year. Of the five birds we decided to order of course three turned out to be Cockerels which we cannot keep.
Estimated hatch date was 2-14-19. There is a bantam black frizzle Cochin , bantam blue Cochin and white crested blue polish available free to new homes. They are all hand raised and so far very good with humans and other pets.
Located in NWI and ready to go!

Welcome to BYC and our thread! Great pics!

Very true. My cows wont go into the shelters, I guess they like the rain! My goats are not happy at all.

Oh no! Hope you can find him, how sad!

I got to see my first tornado tonight a little closer than I'd like to! Parts of Pendleton are really torn up. Only lost power for about 6 hours here. Gas leaks and evacuations going on downtown. Several large trees down, roofs damaged. Youngest DD's family is ok, she's near the high school. We had just got home from camping when it hit. We saw debris and rotation but were far enough away we had minimal damage.
