My little Serama gets a bath every week, too-how adorable.
I'm ready chicken-wise if it snows. Got all the water heater tins set up and ready, got everyone moved where they're going to go and even ended up with an empty pen next to the Silkie boys. So I'm going to enlarge their Bachelor Pad from 8x8 to 8x16 with it and make some sort of playground in there for them, jungle gym stuff made of logs and little things to hide in. They'll need it with 7 boys living together.
Robin, I do just love this little black Cochin Bantam I got from you. She's filled out just beautiful and is such a darling. Her and her sister ruled the layers yard for a while there. I went ahead and separated them and put the little black one with my Faverolles hen, & Dark Cornish bantam in a 10 x 10 pen. She's one of those chickens that really just grew on me.

Hey Banjoe, are you running a regular NN male with them since you lost your scale-less NN male?

Do you have any photos of the hens the eggs are coming from? All I saw on the ad was the photos of the scale-less male you used to have.

kass -because the birds are featherless they are extremly heet talerant and in countrys in the midle east are been razed because it is to hot for a feartherd chicken to grow well

cuban - yes im breeding the scaless geen carryers with a NN that dose not carry the geen and so far i have hatched about 30% of the chicks that carry the geen and will be breeding carryers togather to get scaless i will try to post pics of the hens latter

That is what I use for winter scratch too. Muesky says the feed store near her has rolled oats for around 12.00 for a 50 lb. bag. Bet my birds would like that too.

Chicken feed? What's your recipe?

9 scoops milo
6 scoops wheat
3 scoops corn
2 scoops catfish food
2 scoops cat food
2 scoops rabbit feed
1 scoop oats
1 scoop Canada peas
1 scoop sunflower seed
1 scoop safflower
1 scoop oyster shell

Do you feed it as their sole diet? It actually sounds really good. Have you ever figured up what a 50 bag costs?
Oh Nana-Cochin eggs are a light brown. Mine were anyway.
