Always wanting to learn and grow my knowledge about chickens raising. Currently have 14 - mixture of breeds. EEs, Americana, Barred Rock, Leghorn, Buff Orpingtons, GLW, SLW, and my little red cochin. A couple of months ago I added 7 - someone was downsizing and wanted me to take her "special ones" and any others I wanted. I choose 7 - with one being a bantam cochin. I would like to connect to others in my area to add to my flock (a bantam for my little friend in particular - I think she needs a buddy or a lavender orpington, blue copper maran, light bramha etc.. I like diversity in breed or egg color) or to ask questions to better take care of my flock. Thanks in advance for your knowledge and love of chickens.

I bet your flock is beautiful with all of that variety! Although I can tell all of my same-breed girls apart close up, I like seeing the diversity of colors, sizes and feather styles that come with having a mixed flock. Plus, you get so many different-looking eggs. And, honestly, all my poultry are pets. Eggs are just a welcome fringe benefit to make up for having to clean coops and worry about predators.

I also helped out someone who was downsizing. I went there knowing I would come home with the blue-laced red Wyandotte. Although I adore cochins, I definitely didn't want her bantams. However, Marietta couldn't come home alone, so I agreed to take two cochin bantams. Sally, a barred, and Gabby, a red frizzle, are such little jewels; I am so glad I got talked into them. I hope you find a small buddy for your tiny girl.
