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!!
