I like the barred ones too. I have 2 barred rocks and a couple of the toads turned out barred, someone explain that to me....
I would like to get some Dominiques, for no other reason than they are an old breed and barred.
Turken disappeared today, I am assuming she went broody. I have more broodies than I know what do to with now.
I have a broody question... I have another BA, I think the same one that has been broody 3-4 times this year. She appears to be molting also, is that possible? Should I break her broodiness or let her set while molting?
Once again, I have to tell you I have one of the worlds greatest roosters, Ed (the partridge Chanticler I paid an arm and a leg for, is so protective, I threw them some bread today during snack time, he picked up a slice, after making his "Look what I found " sounds, and dropped it at the feet of a hen that came over. He did not eat it, she did.
I moved all the CX's outside and added to their run today and he spent the better part of the day laying next to their run. I think he thinks they are his babies!
