No. I have never heard of it happening, and Cluckies suggestion of "Turken" is because those chickens have the appearance of a turkey with the naked neck but they are indeed, chickens. LOL That is funny though.Can chickens breed with turkeys??
Don't feel bad about needing to vent, most of us do the same thing on here.Well we moved the chickens today... YIKES!!The fighting between families was crazy. They threatened to call the cops on me if I tookall MY chickens. It irritates me because they get the $2,000 coop. But thats not good enough for them. I was called a thief by my own Grandpa because I was taking the feed we bought. They also blamed me for cutting the cords on his duck decoys the other day which I didn't do. I don't know who did it but we haven't even been there. My brother said the framed me on it being they hate me and strive to get me in trouble. I'm just sick of family and don't care if I never see them again. I know this is not the place to talk about my problems but I had to get everything out.
Although buttermilk sounds good. I would put some butter in between the skin and the meat with some fresh garlic so it could baste as it cooks. Onion powder, sea salt, black pepper and just a little tiny cayenne sprinkled on the top. Then some paprika for color. When having a bird as wonderful as I think yours must be, I would take the opportunity to stuff it with a onion, sage and garlic stuffing mix. Don't like stuffing? Just stuff it with large pieces of onion and some garlic for extra flavor.
Thanks. I love my Nikons even though i don't use them much anymore.
After much more thinking, I have a big, beautiful Partridge Cochins who I have no hens for him to breed with. This coming year, what oddball hens I have are going into my Easter Egger pen with an Ameraucana rooster, so Blade will be in a coop with all my back up roosters. I hate to do that to him, so I am looking to re-home him. He is 4-years old, an excellent rooster and just a big gorgeous bird. So, I am willing to let him go free to a flock who could use a rooster. I hate to just post him and have someone eat him, I would rather keep him than do that and give him a couple of hens somehow, I would just rather not have to make another coop for winter just for that.
If anyone wants to come and get him, let me know and you can come for him when you get a chance or can find someone to pick him up.
His name came when he lost all the points on his comb and all that was left was the "blade" portion of it.
If I do end up keeping him in the end, I may keep a Blue Cochin hen or two and make some Blue Partridge babies
