Cochins?? Really?
I''m pretty certain I'll be doing some swap outs, I like the Cochins because they are ok layers for how much meat they give. Their breast meat is about half way between traditional DP bird and a Cornish. Plus, I think their feet produce more gelatin in my stock than other birds. I may get a more dependible year round egg laying breed. But not 100% sure on that.
By ok layers, I mean they are better than my Cornish.
RiRs lay the first winter real well--Nearly all pullets will do that the first year. The second year that either completely stop of slow way down. They are listed as winter layers but will slow down.
I love the little mini donkeys......so stinkin cute. If you do get a donkey, make sure you get him a friend. They don't like to be alone.
So tiny
Some folks get paranoid about being stalked - present company not included. They think just because you arrived at a thread that they posted on - you are following them.
In 9 years I've acquired a lot of threads I visit when I get around to them. It's not conspiracy it called coincidence. I also go back if/when I see the thread has added a number of new responses. Why not?
I want a couple of donkies sooo bad. No clue why, I am just drawn to them for some reason.
Me too! There is something about their sweet faces
