Great idea.........................try so warm water on the food enough to make it not loose so it doesn't spill so bad
Awwww! Such sweet bay-beeez!
very pretty!! you need a silkie to breed him to!! or a beautiful cochin!
Then she must be a pretty girl!! We have named the frizzle hen Princess and the smooth hen Diva (named by my youngest daughter, obviously but the names fit!) Still working on a tough guy name for my little frizzle roo roo! My oldest named my Speckled Sussex hen Lucinda. NO idea where that came from?? LOLLooks like my Luna.
Good to know! We actually put out our old Roo I was mentioning previously (Tyson...lol) to free range today and he is enjoying it so far. We did this because...drum roll...we FINALLY caught the wild RIR Rooster that was running around at my mother in laws house.the roosters do "their thing" the hens store "it"so it's the hens that...decide....lol....to actually fertilize
good luck with the rooster...don't forget to quarantine...and delouse
Thank you!! If you can tell in that pic of course the big handsome boy in the front is a frizzle roo, then behind him is a frizzle hen then hiding in the back is a smooth feather cochin. All very pretty. Am I correct that I can breed him to the smooth feather?? Also, what color do you can these? They are mostly black but have brown/gold specks. My mother in law has a blue splash silkie hen and a blue plash smooth cochin rooster that I am hoping to hatch some babies from soon. She hasn't started laying yet but is old enough now so I'm thinking this Spring. Thinking it would be a pretty baby to cross a blue splash silkie with this handsome boy or the blue splash cochin with my frizzle girl!

We did this because...drum roll...we FINALLY caught the wild RIR Rooster that was running around at my mother in laws house. We have named him LUCKY because he is obviously VERY lucky as there were plans to shoot him at roost this evening. He is in quarantine right now, as are all of my other new chickens.The frizzles/cochins are eventually getting their own coop. We are putting the finishing touches this weekend. They just seem to have such a different temperament from my other 2 houses of chickens, I don't want to put them together. Plus we plan to breed the frizzles/cochins eventually, so that's probably best anyway. Still no news on my remaining eggs, but I have ordered a new thermometer/hygrometer and light for candling for my next hatch. I was hoping to start as soon as my incubator was empty, but unfortunately none of my chicken friends locally are getting ANY eggs from their hens right now, and neither I am. I really don't want to have eggs shipped, but I may. If I do I will most likely try for some silkies, cochins and maybe more Speckled Sussex this time.
Quote: I have a little silkie roo his name...roo roo
I don't know the names of the silkie colors.. I have some black silkies 2 lavender's and a charcoal kind of greyish color girl....a black frizzle that has a copper color mane!! oh and a sort of white splash color cochin....are we going to have the most fun mixing all our beautiful babies next year??? I think you can put your frizzle with your smooth...I doubt they have the same mother so if I've retain anything I've read.....if your 3 are related and one turned out smooth she may or may not have a frizzle gene but would only have 1 so if she goes with a frizzle roo that's not too may frizzle genes....I'm pretty sure 4... 2 from ea parent is where you may have a problem...brittle feathers and things like that...
mind you!!! I am not sure if everything I've said is accurate!!! but it's something along those lines lol
