Boy! Give them a little compliment and they get a big head and start laying eggs! Geez!

Sigh....I figured...that's the reason I got rid of that roo.
bummer on the roo in the pics, too...

As for the wings - I think my problem is that it is so warm in the house, compared to outside, that they get sleep and "wilt" (wings first, like a chick) I had trouble getting a lot of them to even stay standing!!




On the hunt for a very typey roo again....anyone out there have a breeding quality roo for sale??

Anyone??
(even eggs?)

Can't make much progress with 2 pretty nice females and no good roo....

As for the eggs - I'm not complaining!

Having only 2 girls, 1 being juvie with first egg today and 1 being in a HARD molt, not much progress being made around here on the MF Cochins!!

Have a couple coming up, but not sure about them either!

Here are some pics of the pair I have for sale:

They are not perfect but a good place to start if you're getting into this project--or a nice little outside blood to mix in with an existing project.

Sprigs are little off-shoots on the base of the comb, usually towards the back part.

ooh. love em. probably cost 2 arms and a leg to ship from WA to VA...

here's my baby calico / mille roo, hatched 11/24. unfortunately he was the only one of that color to hatch. the rest were black mottled and silver laced.

that's what i get for wanting one over the rest.
