NC - My 1st Chickens

[Jx2inNC]

I've got some folks looking at buying some of my young birds, sooooo...


...I bought 4 Jersey Giant chicks.

Birds in the big water trough:

Dutch?

Old English?

Should be my Cochin banty rooster mixed with my RIR hen, or similar:

1 of 2 of what is a mix b/w my Speckled Sussex rooster and RIR/sex-link hen:

Dark Brahma banty?

Should be a mix between my Black Jap rooster and Barred Rock hen:

Birds in the small crate:

(4) Jersey Black Giant chicks, a Speckled Sussex/RIR etc cross that won't get any bigger, and the wry neck Cochin pullet

Well I guess a lot of those above are just variations of OE.

Here are some more of them and a few of the others (including the hens sitting on eggs):

I'm really slacking on updating my page...goodness!

All the chicks and younglings have "grown up" and some have moved out or swapped coops.
The Dominickers are great looking, so I brought 2 of the 3 and brought them to my uncle's to add to his coop.
The black Jersey Giants are getting to be the biggest chickens I have, and they aren't even terribly that old. (Curiously, the black cross I have -- I speculate between my Japanese rooster and RIR or sex-link -- makes the group look like triplets except for a little brown on her neck. Very strange she's gotten as big as she has...)
The banty EE's look awesome. Their colors have become vibrant and they look awesome. I doubt I'll be able to part with them! Ha

Only thing I've considered doing is finding a good home for the big Speckled Sussex rooster along with my two laying sex-link hens. I really like them, but I've got at least one too many rooster and I have way more eggs than one guy honestly needs at a time. I'd bet someone could really use these to start a flock or add to theirs, as these are beautiful birds.

Also, one of the most friendly birds is the wry-neck banty Cochin I have. He has a great coat and awesomely feathered feet. Not mean at all to the other birds and, naturally, hangs around a little bit better because of his condition. Although he is very easy to pick up and is not much trouble at all, I don't want him to wind up getting picked on by any of the other roosters I have. I'm thinking there's probably someone out there who has a small flock of banty hens or has a kid that would love a little chicken that wouldn't run from them constantly and they could have as a "pet". If anyone is interested, please let me know!!

Part OE, part mottled Cochin. One cool looking, feather-legged "OE"".

I like the different breeds in your flocks. What kind is the bird with the spots, and feathered feet? I'am in jacksonville N.C

If your roo goes to attack you just pet him, it works for mine

I think you're referring to the little Belgian (Mille Fleur) d'Uccle.
Definitely one of my favorite birds. She's a sweetie!​
