Ok, so this is a LF Cochin rooster which I am keeping, though I don't like the colour he is the largest of this hatch. Georgio... Being lost in the fallen leaves, all golden...
Then my Freezle chick which I am almost sure is a pullet..
The last one is how we are having coffee in the morning
I have one peep this morning from my mama Silkie! And I heard the chick inside, I am so much hoping no LF rooster interfered this time and I finally have pure Silkie chicks.
On the "integrating mama hen with chicks with the rest of the flock" to be honest I don't even know why separate them as a start. I have never separated broodies and mamas and never had issues, they have always grown all together happily.
I will get informed soon if there will be possibility to send you naked necks and get a cochin roo from you. can you post pics of the remaining cochins? my friend asked what colour they are.
I am getting a pair of minorca and will be hatching lakenvelder for a friend of mine. if we find a way to send chickens/eggs you will be able to get breeds you want.
where do you live? you can send me a pm if you prefer.
