Congrats on the new little ones Shay.

Hope your yard sale went well. You missed a real nice day at the swap.
We missed seeing you there.

Yea it went good, not enough to pay bill, becouse we had to dish out money to those who helped us set up and pack up again. but enough that i can get bird and cat food, and even save some for gas to try to get this weekends swap. lol
we might try to dod a yard sale tomorow too, thinking that is labor day, maybe peaple will out and about.

That's a good idea. I always did good on yardsales on the holidays because like you said people look for things to do on holidays.
I hope you can make it to the Candia swap.

Ok, unless I missed something important, like a type of rabbit named cochin, I am confused by the description of this chicken? A white cochin with blue eyes and calico markings? Oh my! Where do I get one!!

Ok everyone, I guess I was really hoping for a response on this question?

Could someone clarify this?

Thank you

chickens and ducks can have blue eyes, its a recessive gene that creates the color, in absence of the gene the eyes will be either brown or green.
Same with rabbits it is a reccessive gene and when matched up correctly can and will create brown, blue, green, lavender and low and behold RED.
Chicken genetics and rabbit centics are very similar only modifiers and extentions are different.

ETA: Calico can be anything like blotchy colors, blocks of color or strips of colors usually on a white or black back ground.

Calico in a rabbit is generally known as a Harliquin or Tri which is a broken (calico) Harliquin,
how complicated would you like me to exolain this?

Darleen can you post a picture of this chicken so A can see it thanks if you cant send it to me via email and I will post it,

Darlene bought the cutest little Cochin chick. She's white with a couple black and orange spots so we called her a Calico like a cat because of the colors. The chick also has beautiful blue eyes. I bought one just like it and when she grows up I'm going to Breed her to the very light blue splash, looks like lavender roo that I bought also. Their Standard Cochin's and I'm hoping they will be humungus
