So what do we get when we cross our 6 lb silver pencil rock hens with our 12 lb white rock roosters???
9 lb monster broodies who have taken to raising babies like it was in their genes!
They all sat in separate boxes, but as soon as they were put into the same area after they had their chicks they followed in their mama's footsteps and opted to co-brood the chicks. Guess we should be happy they waited till 8 months to brood instead of 6 months like their moms tended to, lol. View attachment 1638131

Right now they are lounging on hubby's chair, good thing I covered it with towels!

Those babies are awesome!
9 lbs?!...yeah man! I really like their feather patterns. They came out looking really nice.
Love, Love, Love your fur babe pics!...animals are so very predictably-unpredictable, natural predators, ie.dogs, becoming house mommas, so cool.
Those chicks look VERY comfortable Fisher...may have a hard time making the move to the coop
...you would like some house chickens though right? hahaha
I think my little fur babes wouldn't be so ...whats the word...kind?, but who knows.
Ana, (our mamma-female) & Caesar, (passed 2018), were very good with the baby turkey we had brought in because it wasn't doing well.
It passed away, but those two dogs sat/laid at the little box-area with it until it had left.
...kidding!
...looks like alot of rumbling going on there
