They are so cute!!! Band the blue sex link rooster because as they start to feather its hard to tell who is getting barred and who has strong lacing! Lol
I can't wait to see the Toppy babies grown up!!!

I was sitting here thinking about some of the oddities I have among my chickens.

There is a old buff orp hen that honks like a goose. She has done it since she was a pullet and is now 7 years old.

Old red game mix hen with spurs so long we had to trim them. Little Red's spurs curl like Ram's horns. At 4 inches they reached her leg and had to be cut. She was NOT happy.

Mixed bantam Rooster that doesn't like his leg feathers, so he plucks them out. No idea why. His dad was the same way. He only has some tuffs down the outside of the legs, but when the feathers grow back he will pluck his legs clean. For a few days his legs will be red and iritated after the plucking.

Bantam Cochin hen that crows. Not all the time, just when she is not laying. When Favy(rooster) tries to dance for her she will crow in his face. It seems to confuse the crap out of him. He just cocks his head to the side looking at her and then just walks away.

Dutch Cock and Hen that sneeze. Screech has sneezed since he was 4 months old. He is 4 years old now and still does it. There is no discharge or smell and never has been. Is normal otherwise. I have come to the conclusion that he has allergies. I have never shown him because I didn't want someone freaking out when he sneezed at a show. The hen is his 2 year old daughter and does it too. Hereditary allergies?

Standard Buff Cochin hen that will not go to roost on her own. She will stand there yelling her head off till someone(ME) gets to that house to set her up. If I place her in the wrong spot she will get down and start yelling again. "Sassy" is one lazy woman and I have been obeying her for 6 years.

A 4 year old Black Giant hen that has lost her voice. A year ago we were threatening to chop her head off and eat her because of how loud and annoying she was. She was constantly following us around and squawking. It drove us crazy. Then she suddenly started getting quieter. Now she has no voice. You can here the air force out, but no sound.

A Rooster that vibrates. 'Spot' is a tiny Dutch rooster. He looks smaller then a serama, but is tight feathered and a hefty 15 ounces. When he poses, which is alot, he will start to vibrate. Like he is straining too much. It looks so odd.

There are more oddities around here, but that is enough for now.

Edited to change Cock to Rooster when talking about 'Spot'. If you replace rooster with cock in the description of him you will see why I had to change it.
