HI!!! mjgigax I bot some chicks at the sale an they wer all milly cochin roo's i will give you one if you need one...
Sure, I would be willing to trade you a hen or two. I am on the other end of the spectrum, have a bunch of hens but only one small roo. All of mine about 9 -12 weeks old. I have a sweet little partridge hen who forced into babysitting my salmon faverolles and standard partridge cochins but now they are all bigger then her so she needs to either go to the adolescent grow-out pen but she is really, really tiny. Let me look at what I have and let you know. Next year I am going to focus on getting a group of mottled, birchen and maybe millie fleur cochins going. Right now, in the coop I have a very handsome black cochin roo, two white hens, one black, one blue, one lavender, two partridge hens, one mottled and one barred hen. In the brooder I have a pair of barred, in the brooder right now. In the grow-out pens I have several bantam partridge cochins, one birchen (cockeral ???) and one golden laced.
Also I am raising dark brahmas standard but I have a bantam hen so next year that maybe added to the flock building project. Brahmas are awsome too, mine are all so layed back and cool. Even the chicks in the brooder are calm. No complaining, everyone gets along, takes changes well and are not flighty like some birds. Plus dark brahmas have some of the prettiest feathering of any bird. The roosters are gorgeous and very sweet to their hens.
There is a couple other Okie BYCer who are working on millie fleur cochins, Faerie, but she has not been on in a while and Yonderoaks (they advertise on craigslist). They both have some beautiful millies. I really like them but I am trying not to aquire anymore new breeds, aside from the showgirls I am getting ready to get. Talk about another breed of bird with out-going personalities, showgirls are awsome.
