Just lost my Red Dorking Cockerel... He was in the bachelor pad but there's a bully in there... poop... grr... I may end up eating the bully for dinner even though I was planning on breeding him. He has great form. He's a silkie dorking cross. I have a pullet that is of the same variety and i have gotten some interest from people that were wanting some chicks... but I may just flush that line.... Guess I'll calm down first before making any decisions.

If it is a hawk or another rooster, something will always find a way to get your favorite! My most special roo was "Zippy" (over 10 years ago)he was a sweet bantam EE boy, top rooster and the ladies loved him. but 2 of his brothers got jealous and took him out.

here is Zippy as a chick. He is the little one with the stripe, one buff and one black offed him.

Zippy did have a baby with a silky...

"Baby Gaga"
She was funny I thought she was a rooster too, she used to attack my leg like a rooster, and I almost put her down, then she laid a little green egg. and I realized her attacking me was like a "love" attack, and I started to love/cuddle her more, and she stopped attacking.

So... I'm at work. My husband is the one that told me that my dark rooster died... I asked him for a photo to verify which one, but he was too busy, then he was gone, then too busy. Anyway, long story short: It wasn't my Red Dorking (YAY!!! Thank goodness). It was my Red Dilkie (dorking/silkie). He was a total sweetheart, but I'm much more ok losing him than the Red Dorking. Still thinking I'll take the bully to dinner though.

A picture of my little Seramas from @UGLYFOOT . They look so small when you notice the canning jar feed jar.
These Ameraucanas from @CGilbert and Olive Eggers are growing pretty fast.

Wow they're growing fast! Wonderful! Do you know if they're pullets or cockerels?

Ha...not at all. The white ones are not showing any comb but the olive eggers have combs.

Hope that means pullets!

they Look so cute. That's ok I am sure I can find another buff chick at one of the feed stores.

they are calm. i have been letting them free range during the day, they come back to their little house. it use to be for my 2 f/w ducks, but they went to the big duck house on their own.
I keep meaning to ask you, which one is Thelma & which one is Louise? 1 is bigger and a few days older.
Thanks,
