I did some more research since I posted the pic of Daffy, and I believe you all are correct. I think she's a Black Sex-Link or Black Star. From what I've found, there is quite a possible variation of coloring with the black/red. We've had her (and 2 others from the same family - a buff cochin and red leghorn) since Tuesday. They were in "quarantine" inside the hen house for two nights and have been with the flock since Friday Am. So far, both Daffy (Black Star/Sex link) and Scarlett (Red Leghorn) have begun laying every day. Mildred, the older Buff Cochin is holding her own, but hasn't layed yet. THANKS SO VERY MUCH with all your advice. I appreciate it. - Mary

Good lookin' birds! And you can't beat the price! Daffy is definitely a BSL. Here's a couple of pics of one of mine. The spittin' image.



Here's a close-up of her.

Yeah, I'm from Lamoille Nevada.

Welcome to the Nevada thread Chicken Skin!

I'll add you to the member page.

Hi! I'm here in Las Vegas. I need some ideas on a good coop design. I'm thinking the coop will be on the side of my house with a run. So, it's not a very wide space but I think it will work. Any suggestions? I'm just starting out with this and know nothing.
Thanks, Ricki

I have yet to hatch any eggs... And one of my silkies just came down with wry neck, so I'm putting new chicks on hold until it gets warmer and these guys go outside. Silkies (atleast mine) are so high maintenance.. I'm constantly worried I'm going to find one dead every morning :/ ugh.

We adopted 3 hens from a local who needed to rehome them. Here is "Daffy", so named because when excited, she makes a duck noise. She is not a duck. She's a hen. But the former owners can't remember what kind of chicken she is. Does anyone have an idea what type of hen Daffy is? Bovans Nera ? Other?

I quoted you to say I can't see the pics but this one showed up in the quote. lol Congrats on the new hens! All those breeds are great layers.

OK I think the member page is caught up now. If you are new could you check the member page and make sure you are there and that everything is correct?
Just click this link... member page.

Oh and I wanted to confirm Penturner's statement. His pens are built extremely well and look to be very secure. Really great job on those Daniel! I'd love to have pen's like those.

Just a quick non-chicken-related photo.

Russ and Sahara are now both doing St. Baldrick's. This is their pre-shave photo. I'll post another in a week, where they're totally bald!!! If you want the links to their donation pages, PM me. I'm so proud of her!

We are getting our backyard done as we speak!  Interviewed 4 companies and went with Little City Landscaping. 

 

Oh funny, that is exactly who we are very seriously considering after a few interviews ourselves. PLEASE let me know how it turns out. I would love any details you may have, you could private message if you would like to.

A red Cochin?!?!? Now THAT is very cool!!! I have a barred rock Cochin and think she is the best! I think I would like the red ones! Beautiful!

Hi Everyone, I finally joined BYC! I've been visiting BYC for about five years now.....so I figured it's about time I get my own profile! I love my Chickens you could l also say...obsessed, and addicted to them! I would like to get a few Jersey Giants chicks....does any one know of a breeder in the Elko, Wells NV area or the surrounding area....I'd much rather buy my babies from a local breeder, but will order from a hatchery if it comes down to it! Thanks!
