I have to admit. I was really admiring the large cochin that MJ got to be a broodie.
Many years ago, we had a bantam cochin roo with an attitude. He ended up being my "hands on" learning project for butchering chickens, after he hit me one two many times. I was never sure if it was because he was a cochin or because he was a bantam - but he was mean.

Ooops, I was going to hit quote and accidentally hit report then didn't see a cancel button so hope the go back was the same thing

Anyway, PB, do you think it could have been that it was a He? My cochin hens are the most docile of my chickens.

She came from here too. ours don't have an attitude, they're too big to have one.

The bantam cochin males I've had weren't people aggressive. Robin has one of them, Captain the lemon blue cochin.

Bad apples can happen in any breed, it's just something that needs to be watched for.

I will volunteer to eat the extra pie, might have to team up with teach to get it all done right though.

We will be taking a few LF cochin

I need a roo. I have to blue hens. I am interested.
I appreciate you picking up the slack on the pie eating for me. If I can't have it, someone who really enjoys it should.

Did someone say COCHINS?

STANDARD COCHINS?

Glad I got extra cages. I have several single cages, double cages and some 5-7 hole cages...

Wow I might make out like a bandit.... Poor Doc might come home broke after POOPS

You want eggs? These birds are very big and fertility is low unless you AI them, I have chicks... If someone will haul them for you.

of course standard.. The Partridge of ours that you bought were the smallest variety we had.

Only had two chickens who would attack me. A pure dominecker who would chase my wife and daughters around the yard spurring them. He was turned into dumplings. A little bantam gamecock who thought he was 3 feet tall until i used him as a football. He was giving to a man who didnt have any bantam hens as punishment.

If you want them yes... I lost several to a possum in fact an entire grow out pen with three I had set asside and picked through just for her, now they will be younger. Stephanie was suposed to call you to confirm you were ready for them.

We are ready for them so you can bring them to POOPS & letting them grow isn't a problem. Her show season won't start again until Oct. Thanks Carl!! Steph has been MIA, starting to worry you were making her work too much!

Sooner,
do you still want a few bantam wyandotte? Black or Blue or both or none? We are currently breeding a Black Rooster over Blue hens.

Howdy y'all, I'm back from Tulsa and see you've really been burning up the pages. I'm the newbie. Pepper says he might get me a Frizzle and a Naked Neck. Oh JOY!

Hi to everyone, sorry I can't make the POOPS meet, I'm doing physical therapy for the next 6 weeks..... but I've been hearing all about it today! LOL Pepper's bringing the Clucker Plucker machine. I've seen it, looks like washing machine tub that plucks the clucks like magic. LOL
Hi Poultry & Bees, yes he got me started with those pedigreed Flemish Giants when I lived on the ranch in Henryetta. So P&B....you drive a magic poultry van? I've been told for years I have magic hands. LOL I'm handling my baby ameracaunas daily and they love it and stand so still as I stroke them & talk to them.
I talked to my eggs last year every day and even when my BF had the chicky girls and I might not see them for 2 months, the min. I went to his house and holered out "Chicky Girls" there'd be a massive stampede to crowd around my feet. They'd run and fly so fast. I have them back home now and they are so happy and so am I.

Y'all have a really fun time and maybe next year I'll be able to make the POOPS gathering. Warning: I am an excellent cook! LOL See ya later and have lots of fun and somebody sell pepper a Frizzle and a Naked Neck so I can pay him back for them!
