G’Day from down under cinnabunz

Welcome!

Love the Cochin reference "who is currently broody, of course". I have bantam Cochins [Pekins] who spend more time broody than anything else

BUT they are awesome mums.

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out

@Teila

this is my girl peewee i hatched out last november

and this is my roo Megaphone. I got him as a buddy for peewee since she was the only hatch from about8 eggs

and this is Mary. Funny story i bought her from a feed store as a "ameraucana" back when i didnt know about EEs. I bout 4 chicks and was assured they were pullets since their hatchery sells them 90% pullets and im guessing i somehow managed to pick out 3 roos and her the only pullet. And on top of all that she lays brown eggs not the green/blue eggs i was assured she would lay. But i still love her no matter what shes such a sweety!

and this is Pengu my cochin. Love the cochin breed such sweethearts and look so funny when they sprint
