NY chicken lover!!!!

Whew .... good timing for you to get to them before nightfall ! I bet they were miserable.

Mine just won't even leave the hoop coop right now. Good thing I fussed over it and decided to make it 3 hoops!

Oh- and the fox bait chickens (hen & roo) have been integrated well into the flock. I knew Magic was a calm roo - so I didn't worry too much - and true to form - after a little kerfluffal with them all - he takes to staying up on the ladder most of the time - out of the way of the others - comes down to eat and such - I have watched - but he is not interested in strutting around. I am sure he will be very happy when he gets free range time each day.

Head roo just breaks up all the fights and purrs so sweetly at me - like come get this tasty corn .... I really really like this guy. I really need some speckled sus hens for him. He has a great coloring, size and attitude.

Your Roo is a speckled sus right? That is what mine is. He is so great with the girls and is great with my kids. He hasn't ever had a moment when he has came at me. That may be cause I let the kids chase him and every time I have picked him up as soon as he knows that I have him he calms right down. Then it is funny, when I put him down he stops and looks at me almost asking if I'm done with him. I have even picked him back up just cause and he let me without a problem.Then it is like as soon as he knows that I'm done with him he walks off and checks on his girls to make sure that they are all there. I just felt bad that he got so frostbit this year, but I was checking him out today and it looks so much better. I still think that he is going to lose all his points but that doesn't bother me and at least I won't have to worry about it next year.

Last April I received two Jersy Giants as baby chicks. I herd that JG take longer to mature but my hens are still smaller than my brahmas ( same age). They are really friendly and curious birds. But I don't think they are JG. Maybe black Australorps?? Does anyone have any experience with either breed?

Do you have pics? Where did you get them?

HOT CHOCOLATE!

Yes - he looks almost SQ Speckled Sussex ... of course, I like him so much I may be biased. My guy got frost bite too - almost the whole comb - because he is always walking around the outside of the flock -so I assume he is always in the coldest and wettest spots often ... he is a very big boy ! any roos I would get from him will make good meals ....

I just realized how predatory that sounded! Down right icky - but I can't help it - those big spoiled extra roos taste sooooo good.

I'll have to get a pic of him up.

Alright the decision has made to place an order for ducklings in the next couple of weeks. Feb 14th the earliest to be exact. Myself and two others are going in on an order and before placing it I'm wondering if anyone else here would be interested in going in on our order to help save on shipping/small order costs. If you are interested please PM me. Thanks!!!

Forgot to mention the order will be placed thru eFowl.com
